✨ NAME ✨

g.extension.all — the glow-up (or the ✂️ removal) of every GRASS Addons extension you've got sitting in your local install, bestie.

Okay so by default it only rebuilds the extensions that were built against a different GIS Library. Just those ones. Not all of them. We're being selective. 💅
