Let's add a function os.clear(), and perhaps IDLE (or some

IDLE's shell reset.
May I suggest it be called os.clearscreen()? The os module has
functions related to file systems, processes (maybe others I've missed)
as well as to the screen so the meaning of os.clear() may not be
obvious. (If it clears scroll buffers as well as the physical screen,
even that name is not completely accurate, but I can't think of anything
better.)
