Resetting an announcer

There is SubscriptionRegistry>>#reset, but in the examples I've seen, one has access to the announcer, but not the registry. How about:
  Announcer>>reset
      registry reset.

Well, I found myself with subscriptions hanging around even though I subscribed weakly and did a gc, so it was useful in that situation.

Well, this is like a backdoor interface. Since you going to reset all
subscriptions, not the only ones you know about,
because some other parts of image may add subscriptions, while your
application is totally unaware of that.
So resetting an announcer could make more harm than repairs :)

But of course for debugging, you may need things like that.
So, i guess if it is properly documented, it may be added.
Feel free then to add an new issue and provide a code with a nice
comment indicating
the most probable usage, and warning about misuse :)
