It does say that, but right below it, it says that you can use the
special token * to remove all entries...but I can't seem to make it work
as advertised.  Or am I misunderstanding the instructions?  My
understanding of "can be applied to the index object only" is that if you
have two patterns, "abc" and "abcdefg" you can't do something like:

uncolor body ab*

  ...and have it remove both of them; you have to match the pattern
exactly.  Except that there's special interpretation of * by itself, that
purges the list.
