Description
/clear should clear the view, not the buffer.
The semantics I'm after are the same as gnome-terminal `clear` and irssi `/clear`.
Consider gnome-terminal:
$ cat some-large-file.txt.- terminal is now filled with text, prompt at bottom of window
$ clear - prompt now at top of window
<SHIFT+PgUP> - You can now view the text that you previously cleared.
irssi is the ~same: after /clear, the screen contents are cleared but you can use PgUp to view the buffer.

I am not sure Gtk.TextView allows to scroll further than the allocated buffer but I will look into this.
