Details:

This is a bug report just to track this issue and make sure it is not
forgotten.

On a quick look, it doesn't look like it would be that difficult to implement.
 One could loop over objects in the symbol table, call isjava() on them, and
delete them or not based on that test.  It does look like a fair amount of C++
boilerplate code would be needed to accomplish that (nothing hard, but
possibly tedious) as there would be modifying Fclear and adding a
do_clear_java routine in variables.cc.  In symtab.h you would probably need a
clear_java, clear_java_pattern, do_clear_java_pattern, clear_java_regexp, and
do_clear_java_regexp routines.
