     For a *very* thin OpenGL binding I once wrote I used

GL.clear("Color", "Depth")

for

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)

and I was able to manipulate large terrains with almost the same speed
of a similar C program (the terrain simplifier was written in C in
both cases). I don't think the loss of readability was worth the few
extra miliseconds.
