it may be desirable in future to add a command line flag or environment variable to make this optional; see for example jestjs/jest#2959 |

related to rescript-lang/rescript#3402 I'm not sure this chunk of documentation is exposed on the website though -- can a user even navigate to this page from the home page?

Without a screen refresh, watch mode fills the terminal with a scroll of build errors and warnings. It is not easy to see where the most recent build started; scanning upwards for ">>>> Start compiling" is cognitively taxing. So now we clear the screen each time watch mode decides to rebuild. Thanks @varunpatro for working with me on this. This pull request is a one-line change, but it took a while to get here!
