In my opinion it is not desirable at all. It may be useful when starting
a simple project as everything is automatically there. When the project
grows, however, it bars the way to scoping helpers sensibly, as you have
already noticed.

Helpers are procedural by nature. helper :all drives out the last bit of
polymorphism there was.
