May I suggest it be called os.clearscreen()?
I'd prefer shutil.clear_screen(). There's already
shutil.get_terminal_size(). I know there's also
os.get_terminal_size(), but its use isn't encouraged.
Clear is fine, it's been a Unix command for decades, while DOS "cls" is too
terse. No need to be overly wordy however. Clear takes a few parameters as
well, for scrollback etc on a recent Linux.
Also, a shell is not a terminal, so terminal routines don't feel right in
shutil. Putting get_terminal_size() there was a mistake imho.
