10304	topics/db/queries.txt about delete() lies!	Marc Fargas	nobody	"queries.txt says:
{{{
Keep in mind that this will, whenever possible, be executed purely in
SQL, and so the ``delete()`` methods of individual object instances
will not necessarily be called during the process.
}}}

Given how delete() is implemented in QuerySet one would say it's almost impossible to avoid calling the delete() of every object (to not say it does lots of things).

Option a would be to fix the docs, but current behaviour makes it almost impossible to delete large querysets without recurring to manual SQL (And dealing with QS cache, etc later). So this may have to be fixed in some way, or a workaround documented.
