EXAMPLE: 

clc = CLCollection() --create a CLCollection
-->$CLCollection:CLCollection01 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000]
b = Box() --create a Box
-->$Box:Box01 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000]
clc.addCloth b--try to add the Box to the Cloth
-->false --you cannot - no reactor cloth modifier!
addModifier b (reactor_cloth())--add reactor_cloth to the Box
-->OK
clc.addCloth b --and try again
-->true --this time it works!
clc.getNumCloths() --check the number of cloths in the collection
-->1 --there is one
clc.cloths--let's see the whole array
-->#($Editable_Mesh:Box01 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000])
clc.removeClothIndex 1 --remove the one cloth from the list
-->true --gone!
clc.removeClothIndex 1 --try to remove it again
