Improvements to guides are clearly in the pipeline... I would like to add voice to a small wishlist feature request.

As a first step - I would love to see a clear all guides option. It is possible to delete guides one by one, and hide them... but sometimes I would like to just "Nuke All Guides Right Now, Really" [NAGRNR]

And the suggested 'View > Guides > Clear all guides' would probably work well!
and perhaps a keyboard command to go with it... perhaps ctrl-\ ?
Or even add an option to "clear/delete all guides" to the guideline dialogue that comes up when you double click a guideline?
Or maybe a ctrl-shift-click?

I dunno - whatever makes the most sense for usability... but it would be sweet to be able to clear guides and start fresh.
 - delete guides
 - nuke guides

Thanks guys!
