There's no way to imitate a change of /world/turf is there? I tried making a GM verb to change it and it gave me that icky "Cannot change constant value" or whatever :(

You could create a similar effect by overwriting turf/New.
var/default_turf = /turf/default_type
turf/New(loc, default = 1)
    if(type == /turf && default)
        new default_turf(src)

proc/ClearMap()
    var/turf
        point1 = locate(1,1,1)
        point2 = locate(world.maxx, world.maxy, world.maxz)
    for(var/turf/T in block(point1, point2))
        del(T)
turf/Click()
    //This example function is for a map editing type of system
    if(usr.client.map_edit_on)
        new usr.client.turf_brush(src, 0)

For the ClearMap function, when it attempts to create objects of type /turf it should catch itself then turn around and create type default_turf there instead. But for the Click example, even if your turf_brush is of type /turf, it should still allow you to lay that type down as you please.

Well you should probably use

var/default_turf = /turf/default_type
turf/New(loc, default = 1)
    if(type == /turf && default)
        new default_turf(src) <---------


so that way you aren't defining the var for nothing :P
but yeah if this works I can take it off of my "To Make" list instead of HTML'ing a strikethru line through it to make me say "Meh I really wanted that but it can't be doneee :( :(" and oh look I'm talking too much again
