No, it should still work. Look:
>> clear: does [print "hello"]
>> clear
hello
Rebol allows you to freely change the value of
most words. I would advise against doing that
with clear, though; it's an often used function.
Also check out:
"TUI Dialect - A dialect to print ASCII sequences in REBOL"
http://www.rebolforces.com/articles/tui-dialect.html
which is a good tutorial on dialect creation as well as
containing escape sequences we can never remember.
The dialect implements 'clear as a command.
Of course, safely in the dialect, it does not affect
the built-in, globally defined, clear function.
