Aside from my not envisioning anything named "all" being useful, your argument is reasonable.

If "all" is considered too inclusive, as Eric suggests, then another name is possible.  How about "_"?  Is "_.hpp" legal in all supported filesystems?  Since we're talking about libraries, and not applications, how about "main.hpp?"  "main" is still very short and would be consistent.
