list.clear() missing?!?

[Mystilleef]

I agree. Lists should have a clear method. But what's shocking is that
it doesn't seem obvious to others. list.clear() is a whole lot more
readable, intuitive, "flowable" and desirable than del list. Or maybe I
haven't had enough coffee this morning. I'd go as far as saying all
container objects should have a clear method. This is the reason why
those Rubyist whine about Python being inconsistent and not being "OO
enough."
