Hello,

Unlike previous versions of Mathematica, ClearAll["Global`*"] in Version 6
does not clear definitions and attributes associated with predefined
symbols without built-in meanings (CirclePlus, CircleTimes, SmallCircle,
etc.); definitions are removed with Remove["Global`*"], but attributes
remain. Is this new behavior intentional or a bug? It is not documented.

Of course, ClearAll[CirclePlus] does have the desired effect: it removes
the user's definitions and attributes for CirclePlus.
