R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

MvL explained that there is a configure tests that makes the existence of this 
routine optional.  So the skip is appropriate, but the message should read 
something like "the clear history tests cannot be run because the clear_history 
method is not available.

Martin also points out that this method has been available for a long time, so 
it may perhaps be appropriate to remove the configure test and turn this back 
in to a failure.  But that would be a separate issue if someone cares to pursue 
it.
