How about a delete_now method type for 1-to-m relationships (same arg
formats as the "find" method type):
$product->delete_prices({ region => 'UK' });
I'm not a big fan of the *_now method types, however, which is why
they're not the defaults. OTOH, a delete_on_save method might seem
strange when doing something like this:
$product->delete_prices({ region => 'UK' }); # delete_on_save
Then fetch the prices and see the UK price(s) still there:
@prices = $product->prices;
all because you haven't yet said:
$product->save;
To actually execute the delete.
Like "find", this kind of method seems like a shortcut to a Manager
call. So it should probably execute immediately, and it's probably
entirely outside the scope of the "collection" methods for
get/set/add.
Anyone have any better ideas? :)
