   This change was implemented a while ago but I didn't issue the PR immediately as I requested on the ML that folks test it on different platforms to make sure it works. The confirmations came in fast and then I accidentally forgot to get this into review.
   
   I purposely didn't target `3.3-dev` here as it's a new feature and I didn't want to make any more mistakes related to putting anything other than bug fixes there. 
   
   All tests pass with `docker/build.sh -t -i`

> Folks constantly try to use {{:clear}} to "clear the terminal" in Gremlin Console and there does not appear to be a nice way to do this across platforms. A recent post on Gremlin Users from [~krlawrence] here:
> https://groups.google.com/d/msg/gremlin-users/BQfqEHmoG7E/wp7LVA1-CAAJ
> that demonstrated that you can just send:
> {code}
> println("\033[H\033[2J")
> {code}
> made me think that it would be really easy to wrap that up in a command called {{:cls}} or shorthanded {{:C}} (since {{:clear}} is already taken).
