Open all networks

Hi,

I see that the QUIT command allows quitting all networks, it'd be nice to allow OPEN to connect to all networks. For example, after adding all networks/servers when starting with a fresh configuration.

Thanks!

OPEN without arguments could do that I suppose.

Actually I thought the API wasn't optimal here, I think the paradigm should rather be something like:

QUIT [-a] <network>…

With QUIT (no args) returning an error/usage, QUIT network [network2…] quitting the given networks, and QUIT -a quitting all networks.

That way the user doesn't shoot themselves in the foot because they expected the command without argument to print a help message, but instead had all their networks quit. It almost happened to me before I realised the commands are parsed with arparse, which guarantees that command -h will print a help message.

The same would apply to OPEN.
