How it's used
Often used to describe shops, collections, or information sources that seem to contain everything one could possibly need. It carries a slightly hyperbolic tone, emphasizing variety and completeness. While it sounds formal due to its four-character structure, it is frequently used in casual conversation to express genuine surprise or satisfaction at the range of items available.
Examples
This supermarket is truly all-inclusive, you can buy any daily necessities there.
His bookshelf is all-inclusive, he even has out-of-print comics.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a person or a specific singular object, as it refers to a collection or a place containing a wide variety of things. It is not meant to describe a person who is 'well-rounded' or 'knowledgeable'.
