The broker should be kept as minimal as possible.  Such a function easily
can be written as a client subscribing to all topics.  And if it would be
implemented in the broker, you will get the question of supporting many
databases.  This just not belongs in te broker.  This is far beyond the
UNIX (KISS) way of designing software.

Just my $0.02...
