Multiple Release Clipping Mask

Hi,

When opening .pdf files in Illustrator, depending on how the pdf was created, you can get a lot of clipping masks around your objects, and that can be a drag. Illustrator does not have a Release All for clipping masks - I think it would be useful to have a script for that - or am I missing something?
Thanks

Wow. This tip just saved me a ton of time on an architectural draft that had 40-50 clipping masks on 4 separate documents. Would have taken me hours. Much appreciated!
