Think about it this way: having to use a different keybinding to clear 
the cache is much less irritating than having (potentially) multiple 
days of communication disappear with no ability to recall. Also, I would 
guess that the number of people who use ctrl+L as a shortcut for the url 
bar is much higher than the number of people who use it to clear a text 
buffer.
Basically, a shortcut as frequently used as ctrl-L should not be a 
destructive action that can't be reverted.
Probably the best solution would be a configurable shortcut for clearing 
the cache.
