Me too! I've tried wrapping the -compile(export_all) directive in 
-ifdef(debug)/-endif and then use a Makefile to compile with the debug 
option or not. But then I can't deliver this system to test as it is 
not what will go live. So this feature would be immensely useful. I'm 
afraid of removing the export_all from a module.

$ find . -name "*.erl" | wc -l
      852
$ find . -name "*.erl" | xargs grep '^-compile(export_all)' | wc -l
      219
$ echo $[219 * 100/852]
