Add operation to delete all list entries #35

Open BalazsLengyel opened 11 months ago

When a complete list with many entries needs to be deleted it is a lot of work. Allow the delete operation on lists without specifying the key, which would result in deleting all list entries.

The same could be considered for leaf-lists. It is possible to achieve the same with defining a container atop the list, but an additional containment levels in modeling are annoying for a number of reasons. (e.g. all paths become longer, bad usability, etc.)

There are multiple vendors who have implemented this in a proprietary manner.
