/*
* Demonstrates that console clearing sets each cell's character to SP, not
* NUL, and it sets the attribute of each cell to the current text attribute.
*
* This confirms the MSDN instruction in the "Clearing the Screen" article.
* https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682022(v=vs.85).aspx
* It advises using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo to get the current text
* attribute, then FillConsoleOutputCharacter and FillConsoleOutputAttribute to
* write to the console buffer.
