Research direction
Find how eraseVBL/eraseMBL and setTokenVBL are implemented and registered as MapTool script functions, then add matching eraseTokenVBL, eraseTokenMBL (and related) wrappers that clear a token’s VBL/MBL the same way setTokenVBL with shape none does. Mirror existing function names, docs, and tests so callers get a dedicated erase API instead of the JSON workaround.

Description
Describe the Problem
It's frustrating that there aren't eraseTokenVBL(), eraseTokenMBL(), etc. functions that would work similar to other "eraseVBL()..." functions.
The Solution you'd like
I would like to see eraseTokenVBL() (et al.) functions that would clear a token's VBL/MBL data, similar to how eraseVBL() and eraseMBL() remove it from the map.
I realize you can achieve this with: setTokenVBL("{'shape':'none'}"), but that feels wonky versus having a specific function for it.
Alternatives that you've considered.
The only alternative I know of is using setTokenVBL("{'shape':'none'}").
I suppose if I wanted to really nuke it I could just write a script to delete the token and replace it with a copy of the token with no VBL/MBL/etc. attached.
