What happened to the documented Remove all filter ?

A Remove all filter is described in the Help file as follows:
However, there seems to be no such filter in TextPipe Standard (7.9.5). What happened to it?This filter removes all text.
It is useful in two main situations
1. Inside a subfilter, it prevents any of the subfiltered text from re-entering the text stream. So you could restrict to lines matching a pattern, output the matching lines to a new file, and then remove them.
2. To remove all of the text of a file, then use an Add Header filter with the @fullInputFilename macro to obtain the name of the file.
