/// @startDocuBlock documentsCollectionRemoveByExample
/// @brief removes documents matching an example
/// `collection.removeByExample(example)`
///
/// Removes all documents matching an example.
///
/// `collection.removeByExample(document, waitForSync)`
///
/// The optional *waitForSync* parameter can be used to force synchronization
/// of the document deletion operation to disk even in case that the
/// *waitForSync* flag had been disabled for the entire collection. Thus,
/// the *waitForSync* parameter can be used to force synchronization of just
/// specific operations. To use this, set the *waitForSync* parameter to
/// *true*. If the *waitForSync* parameter is not specified or set to
/// *false*, then the collection's default *waitForSync* behavior is
/// applied. The *waitForSync* parameter cannot be used to disable
/// synchronization for collections that have a default *waitForSync* value
/// of *true*.
///
/// `collection.removeByExample(document, waitForSync, limit)`
///
/// The optional *limit* parameter can be used to restrict the number of
/// removals to the specified value. If *limit* is specified but less than the
/// number of documents in the collection, it is undefined which documents are
/// removed.
