Yes, of course! I never thought about it, but now that you mention it,
clear() in itself doesn't really mean anything.

I disagree here. It breaks backward compatibilty, but not badly. I'd say:
make a note saying that the function was renamed and tell people to update
their code. The API also changed slightly when arguements to functions were
declared `const' where they previously were not. I'd look at this as a bug
fix.
