I am not the one who judges if a suggestion gets included. So it could well be that your idea can be found in the next release.
But just as I pointed out I have not found a situation where I missed a function to clear the list.
My workflow looks something like this:
When I am done with one set of files, I simply load the next - and this replaces the currently loaded ones. I do not need the extra step to clear the list.
So I tried to find a situation where a filled list would distract me or where it would be nice to start more or less from scratch.
The list of inaccessible functions should show that I could not think of a lot of useful functions.
But as you say
I am interested what the situation would be like where the cleared list is useful. I am really willing to broaden my horizon, that's all.
