There is already a purge-all-instances which is, well, purges all
persistent instances regardless their class. This is not exported but
may come handy when playing with a test database. Accepting your
suggestions would require to rename this too. There are other
*-instances methods which also have to be looket at.

Hmm, since purge-instances is generic, what about adding a method
dispatching on list? It may seem strange for the first look, but it's
not that bad if you think of purge-instances in a really generic way.
