Steps to reproduce: clear

Expected output: Users should be warned that doing such a command would instantly remove all data from the application

Actual output: No warning or confirmation requested

Users may accidentally type the clear command and delete all data from WorkBook in the process. They would be able to undo but it may cause unnecessary panic in users. Not all users may not be aware of the undo command as well.

The behaviour is documented in the UG but I believe this is a feature flaw as this can be implemented in a better way without much additional effort. Clearing all data from WorkBook is a very drastic action and I think warning or asking the user for confirmation would be appropriate. If the user mistakenly clears all data, the user should not have to rely on another command for a solution when it can be easily prevented in the first place.
