How can I implement something like ON DELETE CASCADE with Torque?

Like: let's say table BOOK references table AUTHOR through a relation WROTE.
Now let's say I have BOOK_ID 1 and AUTHOR_ID 1 and AUTHOR_ID 2 (because the
book was written by 2 authors).
Then I have the following WROTE:

BOOK_ID   AUTHOR_ID
1         1
1         2

But now let's assume I wish to delete the book.

With SQL I simply create the table WROTE with ON DELETE CASCADE so once I
delete the book, the database also deletes all references (e.g. in WROTE)

How can I do that with Torque?

<foreign-key foreignTable="BOOK" onDelete="cascade">
   <reference local="BOOK_ID" foreign="BOOK_ID"/>
</foreign-key>

I can't find it in the docs just now, but I am pretty certain "cascade" is one of the values you can assign to the /onDelete/ attribute. "setnull" is the other possible behaviour.
