No -- `Unbind' takes only one argument. (The reason for this lies in the way
`Unbind' has to be implemented: It is not a function, but specially
recognized by the parser. Thus `Unbind(abcde)' will never trigger a warning
``unknown variable abcde'', even if the variable is not known.)

(If you need to unbind a vast number of variables you could do this by
creating a string with `Unbind' commands and executing it via a stream.)
