Hmm, seems to me that "clear" with no option probably ought to do
that (unload all functions), the general idea being that it returns
gretl to pristine state. Would it be too backward incompatible to
arrange for that?
Related question: Is there currently a way other than restarting
gretl
to achieve that? (I know how to unload functions from a package manually.)
No. You can unload packages and their functions one-by-one, or
"delete" functions one-by-one, but if "clear" doesn't do it
there's
no way to empty the user-defined function space in one go -- or not
that I'm aware of.
