Is there a bulk delete operation?

[Inversion-des]

I can see heavy disk usage when going thru all the records and deleting some records. Bulk delete could solve this problem.

My workaround is to add this method:

module Moneta
  module Adapters
    class Sqlite < Adapter
      def delete_many(*keys)
        keys.flatten!
        keys_cs_list = keys.map{|k| "'#{String === k ? k : Marshal.dump(k)}'" }.join(', ')
        backend.execute("delete from #{config.table} where k in (#{keys_cs_list})")
      end
    end
  end
end

and use like this:
store.adapter.delete_many :k2, :k3, 'k3'
store.adapter.delete_many [:k4, 'k4']

Hi, you are right we don't have a bulk delete operation at the moment. Generally, we have tried to keep the methods in the moneta spec a proper subset of those on Hash, but there's nothing I can see see in the Hash method smorgasbord for this... I think we can add something though.

I'm actually wondering if we should just amend the existing #delete method to enable it to take multiple args...
