Description: dictionary.clear() does not work as expected because it defaults to ILList.clear()
Version: 1.4.1 (but propably any)

When trying to run this little program dictionaryClear.C it produces this output:

Before
{
nix 23;
}

After
{
}

--> FOAM Warning :
From function dictionary::add(entry* ePtr)
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 51
Reading ""
attempt to add an entry already in dictionary ""
Final
{
}

although the expected output (in my opinion) would be:

Before
{
nix 23;
}

After
{
}

Final
{
nix 24;
}


Possible resolution would be this patch:
dictionary.clear.patch

Yes your fix is correct, I will include it in the next release.
