Comment(by paulbeard@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 blb@…]:
 > {{{--all}}} and {{{all}}} are actually different, and you can use them
 both as in {{{port clean --all all}}} as {{{--all}}} applies to whichever
 port(s) is given to clean and {{{all}}} is the actual port to clean.

 > The examples in the man page could also include {{{port clean --all
 vim}}}, would that help make it clearer?

 Why not just make {{{port clean all}}} work as expected/advertised?

 That works but why would anyone do that?
