Disable all commands to remap them all

Is it possible to disable/remove all mapping/commands in order to remap them all from scratch?

To shed some light on the behavior and documentation of :mapclear:

The built-in stuff (e.g. the w normal mode movement) is called commands. The keys that trigger them can be changed; this is a mapping. Vim comes with some plugins and settings enabled out of the box; these are referred to as default mappings.

To disable all built-in commands, you have to override them with a no operation mapping (:help <Nop>), like this:

:noremap w <Nop>

But, if you intend to remap them later, anyway, there's no need for this, as the remapping will override the command, anyway.

From the vim help:

:mapc[lear]  (nvo modes)
:nmapc[lear] (n mode)
:cmapc[lear] (c mode)
... and so on

Remove ALL mappings from the modes where the map command applies.
