clear_handle
— Clear the content of a handle.
Signature
clear_handle( : : Handle : )
Description
clear_handle
clears the content of the handle contained in

Usually, handles are automatically cleared once all references in
all tuples are overwritten.
clear_handle
can be used to clear a handle at a specific
time, even if there are still references to it.
This operator can be used to clear handles of any type instead of the more
specialized operators, such as
clear_matrix
or clear_shape_model
.
