unable to retrieve all tokens from a child

get_tokens has no default when token param isn't specified

Good point. We decided not to let people search for all tokens because it takes too long, but maybe we should allow this within child or corpus? What do you think @mikabr ?

How about if we throw an error ("that'll take too long! confirm that you want *all* the tokens by supplying * as the token specifier.") Mike

I agree with Mike, how about something like Error: Argument "token" is missing. To fetch all tokens, supply "*" for argument "token". Caution: this may result in a long-running query.
