The minimal disturbance change might be to teach the parser to
distinguish between a quoted 'all' and an unquoted 'all', and forget the
'*' idea.
     

Probably we ought to go with that, on backwards-compatibility grounds.
   

why not do both, but deprecate the use of all in the docs?  say with an
eventual goal of removing the use of all altogether in 2 releases?
 

The extra value is fairly low IMNSHO if we can distinguish between a 
magical and a non-magical 'all' - see the patch I just submitted.

cheers
