In code, list.clear doesn't throw error - it's just ignored

Yes, Chris, that is a REPL feature and one that people may use
interactively.

As you note, it does not work inside something like a function which the
REPL is not trying to evaluate and print. So clearly my supposed use would
not make much sense in such code.

That's a REPL feature.
