I have read on the Jim Langley noise silencing page that putting grease
there stops creaking, if you are getting creaking noises that are from
there.

Unanimous consensus for no grease, which makes sense, especially when Jim
pointed out the extra leverage of the a-bars. Maybe beeswax/lanolin for
galvanic corrosion, or maybe not.

The only grease I've ever put there also contained a carbide powder -
valve grinding paste, an old trick to prevent the bars from slipping...

No never nada !
I've never in 40 years of playing with bicycles greased inside the clamp !
Steel bar with steel stem , AL with steel, AL with AL no grease ever
. You want a dry interface there , the friction is it's friend to keep
the bar from shifting :)

I use the Lanolube from Riv. Beeswax will work but I don't have the
patience to soften it.
