MATLAB: Close (all) Variable Editor windows

user interfacevariable editor

During development I often open many figures (plotting variables of interest) and many Variable Editor windows, often digging several layers deep into structs, generating lots of Variable Editor windows. When I am ready to move on to some next step, I can easily close all the figures with 'close all'. But I cannot find a way to close all the Variable Editor windows (so typically, I close each, of many, by clicking on the red dot (in OSX)). Not impossible, but tedious. There seems to be no complement to openvar. Am I missing something?

This closes all docked and undocked ArrayEditors:
desktop = com.mathworks.mde.desk.MLDesktop.getInstance;
Titles  = desktop.getClientTitles;
for k = 1:numel(Titles)
   Client = desktop.getClient(Titles(k));     
   if ~isempty(Client) & ...
      strcmp(char(Client.getClass.getName), 'com.mathworks.mde.array.ArrayEditor')
      Client.close();
   end
end
