If Answer() clears variables, then this is a bug, where "bug" is 
defined as "behavior that occurs that a reasonable user or developer 
would not expect given the inputs to the process."

If you do not use Answer() explicitly, are the values still cleared?

Can you please document and put in the bug tracker.
