It is true that ext_community filter syntax is more limited
that community filter syntax. So this is currently not possible.
We should probably add support for (*,*,*) and (something,*,*).

To delete all ext. comms, currently it is possible to use these
undocumented expressions:

bgp_ext_community = --empty--;

or perhaps:

bgp_ext_community.empty;


BTW, why anyone wants to delete all (extended) communities?
