[Python-ideas] clear() method for lists

[Gerald Britton]

In the list archives, this thread

    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2009-April/003897.html

discusses adding a clear() method to list objects, to complement those
available for sets and dictionaries.  Later in the thread:

    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2009-April/003933.html

Christian Heimes provided a patch to do it and R. H. commented that
all it would take is Guido's blessing.

So, I'm wondering, can we do this?  What are the steps needed to ask
this work to be blessed?
