Ideally, I suppose an "all nodes" thing would show all nodes, but still prettied for viewing, something like a "view docs as one big HTML" translated web page, maybe with info commands working relative to the node the point is in, and that would be the difference, but it seems that g * is very similar to just turning off narrow at the moment.
