The problem with adding something like (clearaddr) is that it makes different

Yeah, I think you've convinced me. Earl, you happy with this? Any
suggestions on what we want to call this new function? formataddr2
comes to mind, but that seems to be a terrible name to me. concataddr?
I think I like a function to clear the cache instead. I think
there is use to have duplicates removed (which concataddr would
not do). Those that use clear cache function use at their
own risk and its existence does not affect existing components
files.
Of course, having names str registers would be an alternative,
but that is likely more work.
