Description

Description

When I want to stop all running containers, I have to do a command like this one

$> docker stop $(docker ps -aq)

Proposal

Add a -a, --all option in order to be able to stop all containers in a more simple way

$> docker stop --all

Which would be more intuitive/easy to remember...

I'm willing to work on this one if this is okay.
