A concrete use-case a user is trying to figure out is how to clear and then reset a plot to new values.

They want to preserve other data in the viewer, and so resetting the entire session isn't an option.

Our current clear APIs only allow you to clear data at a singular point in time, but since plots use visible history, clear operations are in practice meaningless.

There's not really any way to represent this in our current model -- the closest we have is probably forcing GC on a given time-range for a specific entity-path. Maybe with heavier-handed version of Clear that isn't time-invariant could do something like this.
