I am sorry, I did not test while posting. \clap is not defined by plain
tex. In fact, it is not even defined by latex. In my usual set of
packages it is defined by mathtools as
\providecommand*\clap[1]{\hb at xt@\z@{\hss#1\hss}}
that is \hbox to 0pt{\hss #1 \hss}, so it is same as the definition
that you gave. I always assumed that \clap was a plain tex macro.
Sorry for the noise.
Aditya
