I was surprised to discover that this doesn't work:

coll = new Backbone.Collection
for i in [1..1000]
  coll.add new Backbone.Model()

console.log coll.length # 1000
coll.remove coll.models
console.log coll.length # 500!

I understand why this strange result occurs, more or less, though it seems like a bug to me. In any event, what's the best alternative, without resorting to internal methods like _reset (which wouldn't work anyway, as I want the appropriate remove event to be triggered)?

backbone.js coffeescript
