Re: [mqtt-comment] UNSUBALL : Cancel all subscriptions.

Hi Nagesh, 

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions
for MQTT 3.1.1.

I have raised Jira issue MQTT 237 for
the TC to evaluate. You can track it via this link > https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/MQTT-237

Many thanks

Richard

UNSUBALL : Cancel all subscriptions.

Sent by:    
   <>

Suppose, the MQTT protocol has another command - UNSUBALL.
When the broker receives this command, it interprets it as multiple UNSUBSCRIBE
command for every topic the given client has subscribed to. And, so in
response, the broker sends those many UNSUBACK responses. Or, perhaps,
one UNSUBALL with reason codes as 0 (all un-subscribed), 1 (total failure),
2 (partially un-subscribed) and topic strings that were unsubscribed.

When developing a MQTT client, one can maintain a local store of the topics
subscribed and then issue UNSUBSCRIBE to all these in a loop. However,
with this command the overhead of maintaining such a store would be removed. 
A UNSUBALL allows an easy way for 'factory reset'.

Can such a command be added ?
