[PATCH] Trivial fix

I don't understand how this fixes Ctrl "L" on Windows.

> 1      var clearConsoleHandler = this.requestClearMessages.bind(this);
> 2 
> 3      shortcut = WebInspector.KeyboardShortcut.makeKey("k", WebInspector.KeyboardShortcut.Modifiers.Meta);
> 4 -    this._shortcuts[shortcut] = clearConsoleHandler;
> 5 +    this._shortcuts[shortcut] = this.requestClearMessages.bind(this);
> 6      this._shortcuts[shortcut].isMacOnly = true;
> 7      shortcut = WebInspector.KeyboardShortcut.makeKey("l", WebInspector.KeyboardShortcut.Modifiers.Ctrl);
> 8      this._shortcuts[shortcut] = clearConsoleHandler;


Line 1 shows that the clearConsoleHandler variable already has the requestClearMessages bound to this already. So the change doesn't appear to do anything. Also, the change is made to the Mac only <Cmd>K clear shortcut, not to the Windows <Ctrl>L part. Is there something I am missing?

Ahhhh, I think I got it. The "isMacOnly" property was being set on the shared bound function, and so all other cases (like Windows) see the isMacOnly property and don't run. Thats unfortunate.

r=me if you Provide a comment explaining this (because its tricky). You might even want to reorder the code slightly if that helps make it clearer as well.
