This made a little more sense with ambiguous things like "W expr"
added a watch and "W" deleted all of them.  A bit less dangerous with
the clean abw/ABW split.

Still... the syntax could be changed to "[ABW] \d+" or "[ABW] all" to
indicate you want to delete everything with "[ABW]" just throwing a
warning.
