We ended up adding WebKitWebViewSessionState, which allowed us to save 
and restore the WebKitBackForwardList (and much more!), which is all we 
had wanted in the first place. We did not need to be able to do 
arbitrary modifications.

The thing is, WebKitBackForwardList is not persistent browser history, 
and I'm not really sure why you're trying to clear it.
