Summary: "Clear Line" instead of "Cut Line"

Initial Comment:
Story:

A user is refactoring code from part of a method into another method.  He copies the body text, then uses the "Clear Line" method to clean up the remaining brackets, method sig., etc.  The clipboard contents remain unchanged, so that he can paste the copied body text to its new location.

Note: This is the same behavior as emacs, on which the existing "Cut Line" action was modeled.  Right now this behavior destructively updates the clipboard, forcing the user to undo his cut line actions to restore the body text.
