== Description

Release from management the sequence of objects currently managed by this range proctor by setting the length of the managed sequence to 0. All objects currently under management will become unmanaged (i.e., when the proctor goes out of scope and it was not assigned another sequence of objects to manage by invoking `reset`, no objects will be destroyed). If no objects are currently being managed, this method has no effect. Note that the origin is not affected.
