document.open() and the DOM tree of the loaded (closed) browser window on which it works
If I execute in browser console:
```js
document.write("Hello");
```
A new DOM document with the text _Hello_ appears in the same browser window.
From [MDN documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/write):
> Note: Because document.write() writes to the document stream, calling document.write() on a closed (loaded) document automatically calls document.open(), which will clear the document.
What is the meaning of "clear" here?<br>
Does it mean "totally deleted" or is the previous DOM tree stored somewhere and can be retrieved?
