Description

Sometimes you want to remove lambda callback functions, and sometimes you want to remove all callback functions for a given action or filter hook, but currently you can't.

My patch allows you to remove all callback functions for a given tag, by specifying "all" as the function name: remove_filter('tag_name', 'all');

Suggestion: Create a new function for handling this behavior.

Why a new function? apply_filters lets you pass "all" as the "tag," so this is parallel behavior. Performance reasons should not be a factor, because remove_filter is not called enough to make a difference, and the check on that block should be pretty quick anyways.

Another function is just something else to have to remember.

Branches are something to be avoided as much as possible. The CPU still has to decide: Well, do I go into the branch and start loading that code or should I skip it and load the code after.

Having its own separate function, would be a short body and be pretty sweet.
