Bug Description

I was asked to post this here after making a comment on Inkscape's Google+page.

Please consider a more intuitive process to clipping and masking objects and layers.
As of right now if I want to clip an object I must duplicate the base object and select clip.

Wouldnt a context menu entry (right click...) be more intuitive?
*clip (mask) to object below
*clip (mask) to object above
*clip (mask) to layer below
*clip (mask) to layer above

There are a few other programs (I mentioned paint tool SAI in my original post) which use this.

Thank you for taking the time to review this suggestion.
