[OpenLayers-Users] removeFeatures vs. destroyFeatures behavior

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi.

Yes, something could probably be done for eraseFeatures and
removeFeatures. The thing is that removeFeatures triggers a
featureremoved event for each feature removed. What we could do is
introduce removeAllFeatures which will be documented as not triggering
featureremoved events. Feel free to create a ticket for this, and
propose a patch. Thanks. Eric
