backbone.js model.destroy nested models and objects

Question

If I call model.destroy, and my model has nested backbone models and/or plain JS objects, does backbone take care of their destroys as well, or will I somehow have 'dangling' objects?

From the annotated source it's not immediately obvious to me. Thanks for help.

Why would any api presume to know what properties of your object to kill off when you remove that object from some collection? — Crescent Fresh

You're right what I really meant was when I call model.destroy, not what I originally wrote (which was collection.remove(model)). I updated the question. — fortuneRice

No, Backbone will not do anything more than send a delete request to the server for that one resource.
