Hello,
is there anybody who uses the functions reset() or restore() from
src/sage/misc/reset.pyx
They are meant to "reset" the global state in the interactive session to
what it was when Sage started up. This seems useless (why not just quit
Sage and restart it?) and dangerous (it resets global variables but not
all other places potentially storing global state).
I should also mention that the implementation of these functions is
quite hacky, relying on Cython's old-style-globals behaviour and using
the magic sage_mode variable (set on Sage startup).
I would prefer to remove these functions (after a deprecation period
obviously). Thoughts?
Jeroen.
