Speaking for myself, I never was confused between before(:each) and
before(:all).  The first always meant before each OF the examples, and
the latter before all the examples.

As a devil's advocate, while before(:any) might evoke the current
meaning of before(:all) for some people, after(:any) to me evokes the
curent meaning of after(:each) more than it does after(:all), i.e.
after any OF the examples rather than after all the examples, because
I'd never say after any the examples.

But that might just be me.
