[cc65] CLRCH necessary for the CBMs?

Since the Atari is now the leader of the pack when it comes to the size of the
executable[1], I've had a look through the startup code of the CBMs. 

My first startup code, written millions of years ago, had a call to CLRCH in
it, which then got cloned into all other Commodore startup files as well. The
reason (as far as I remember) was to get a "clean" environment somehow. Is
this call really necessary when starting a cc65 compiled program? Or can it
even break something, like a redirection of output to the printer?

Regards

    as every true C64 user can tell! :-)
