This is daunting. 

I have another, simpler, suggestion. First, we can drop document scope
altogether. We may still provide a command for it, but binding it seems
not useful. Also, if we keep the "smart" behaviour of `C-c C-x C-l', we
can also get rid of section scope. This leaves plenty of space to
distinguish between previewing and clearing previews.

Concretely

- `C-c C-x C-l' :: When on a LaTeX fragment, toggle previewing, as
  usual. Outside of LaTeX fragment, preview the whole section,
  unconditionally. In particular, if there is nothing (more) to preview,
  do nothing.

- `C-u C-c C-x C-l' :: Clear all previews in the current section,
  unconditionally.

There is no overlap, clearing previews is still fast, and you can
preview LaTeX fragments incrementally.

If we absolutely need to bind document preview, we can still keep it
bound in `C-u 0 C-c C-x C-l' (`C-u - C-c C-x C-l' to clear), but it
doesn't need a binding out of the box.

WDYT?

Regards,
