Or there is something i do not understand, or the Carl example is wrong (!).
I do not see here any difference in using ALL.
Like changes doc of Core 2.5 explains, ALL must be used with SKIP:
/all Used in combination with the /skip refinement. [NEW] By default only a
single field in a record is used for comparison. If the /all refinement is
used then all fields in a record are used for comparison.
