    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.
