Does anyone else think Windows PowerShell should ship with a "native" alias
for the Clear-Host function?

Of course we have cls and clear as learnability aliases, but we don't have a
standard alias, even though we have standard abbreviations for Clear and
Host. I can do
Set-Alias clh Clear-Host
but that is extra work; one of the points of the standard aliases is that if
the verb and noun have standard abbreviations, you automatically know the
standard alias and can use it.

Please file this as a feature suggestion -- we really love to hear
everything you have to offer.
