Comment:
As far as I can tell, `TRUNCATE` is not part of SQL-92, and it isn't
implemented by sqlite, so it isn't a good candidate for ORM support.
What's wrong with `MyModel.objects.delete()`? At least sqlite will
optimize this by performing a truncate. I don't know very well the
internal of other database engines, but they may optimize it too.
Finally, you can use raw SQL.
I'm leaning towards "wontfix", but let's wait for a core developer's
opinion,
