clear-links fails on create-standalone

Using clear-links in a model results in the following error:

unknown primitive: org.nlogo.prim.etc._clearlinks

I would say this is low priority, as clear-links can simply be replaced with ask links [die] for a quick fix, but it may be useful to note the issue and its fix somewhere in the documentation until clear-links is implemented.

Copied from original issue: NetLogo/Galapagos#173

Duplicate of #119.

Thanks @TheBizzle. Is this the correct repository to post to for all unknown primitive errors?

[TheBizzle]

This is something that's debatable, but I'd say so. The problem (i.e. that a primitive is unimplemented) lives in Tortoise. The symptom of it is experienced in Galapagos.

[chrisvfritz]

Thanks. I see the issue that's been referenced is simply documenting that Many, many primitives are not yet implemented. Is it still useful to keep posting issues for these errors? Or would commenting on that meta issue be useful?

[TheBizzle]

If the only thing to report is that a primitive isn't implemented, I'd rather an issue weren't opened on that. I'm fine with what you've been doing, though, of opening tickets to say "this primitive is missing and here's how to work around that". That makes sense to me as something worth documenting. Regarding commenting on #119, I think opening a separate issue for each primitive workaround you want to mention is the better option.
