The clear point for me is that thread locals must be set and cleared in the context they are used. If you had a mechanism that allowed you to "clear" all of the thread locals in a given thread, how does this change the fact that the next thread still has to establish the call context? You can't differentiate the cleared state from a left over value from a previous thread if it happens to be the same as the cleared state.
