.. option:: noclearall
- By default, ``dynare`` will issue a ``clear all`` command to
- MATLAB (<R2015b) or Octave, thereby deleting all workspace
- variables and functions; this option instructs ``dynare`` not

- ``dynare`` only deletes the global variables and the functions
- using persistent variables, in order to benefit from the JIT
