Native alias for Clear-Host - Bug/Feature?

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.
