Not sure if `clear` is an ideal name then, but `drain` sounds like
something that would block, and `drop` is really much different from
`clear`. Also, doesn’t matter, having Collection.delete return the
deleted element is a common thing in any language’s standard
library, so
why not have `clear` do the same.
It isn't too late to change the name, but it sounds like you don't
necessarily prefer any of those others over what's there now.
