I decided to do this, and put it in its own column to solve the space issue. 
the only problem is that I don't actually have such an icon, so right now I'm 
just copying the 'favourite' icon. :)

I think that might be kinda complicated and hard. if someone else wants to add 
it, go right ahead, but I'm just aiming for a 'remove all' button right now.

I just hope people don't have too much trouble understanding that the icon 
means "remove all".

nah, changing the behaviour of a button based on one filter seems like a 
recipe for accidental deletion.
