I can't seem to find a method for removing all elements from a collection.  I wonder why that is?

Perhaps it's because you're just expected to throw the whole collection out and use Collection new.

But suppose you wanted to keep the collection and just remove each element one by one.  What is the best way to implement that?

Collection>>removeAllElements
self removeAll: self.  "This doesn't work"

Collection>>removeAllElements
self removeAll: self copy  "Seems to work..."
