    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Calling "clear" from the prompt or from within a function currently removes
all variables from both the current (base or local) workspace and the global
workspace.

The following code demonstrates this:


octave:1> global x
octave:2> x = 3;
octave:3> who
Variables in the current scope:

ans  x

octave:4> who global
Global variables:

x

octave:5> clear
octave:6> who
octave:7> who global
octave:8>


For Matlab compatibility, "clear" should only remove variables from the
current (base or local) workspace, but not from the global workspace.
