Example
-------

The following drops all indexes from the ``restaurants`` collection in the
``example`` database:

.. code-block:: php

   <?php

   $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->example->restaurants;

   $result = $collection->dropIndexes();

   var_dump($result);

The output would then resemble::

   object(MongoDB\Model\BSONDocument)#9 (1) {
     ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
     array(3) {
       ["nIndexesWas"]=>
       int(3)
       ["msg"]=>
       string(38) "non-_id indexes dropped for collection"
       ["ok"]=>
       float(1)
     }
   }
