[PATCH 02/14] man/clear.1: Clarify.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 02/14] man/clear.1: Clarify.
Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2023 17:31:32 -0600

* Fix apparent copy-and-paste error; what is relevant is that "clear" is
  not standardized.
* Prevent inference that _only_ the scrollback buffer is cleared by the
  E3 escape sequence.
