Hmm, why not. My intuition was to make frame.clear() a best-effort
method, but this sounds ok too.

Yes, perhaps. Then Eric's patch can incorporate that change once the
frame.clear() patch is committed.

That, or in the traceback module. The reason I'm proposing this one as a
frame method is that it can't be done in pure Python.
