Hi,
While it is true that the default text may simplify debugging,
I agree with the poster that this behavior violates
developers expectations (I don't know of any other API where
you have to call clear() before using an object the first time),
and because of that, it makes it more likely that bugs get
introduced in the first place.
Would you consider changing this so as to initialize with the
empty string?
