I think a "clear" command might be quite useful (we have "dataset
clear" but it's somewhat hard to find). To keep things reasonably
simple, I'd suggest that it has three forks:
* default, no options: clears everything
* --dataset: clears the dataset only, leaves matrices etc.
* --other: clears everything other than the dataset.
Now "other" may not be the greatest label (suggestions welcome),
but I'm not keen to add a slew of specific options (matrices,
scalars, bundles, strings and so on, for clearing).
