[boost] [pool] object_pool::destroy_all? (from users)

I started using object_pool recently to solve a problem.  I have lots of 
  objects being created and destroyed frequently and stored in a 
collection.  Every so often an event happens which triggers destroying 
all the objects.
Essentially I have:
boost::object_pool<Object> m_object_pool;
std::vector<Object*> m_objects;
Then I have a function
void DestroyAllObjects()
{
     std::vector<Object*>::iterator it, iend = m_objects.end();
     for( it = m_objects.begin(); it != iend; ++it )
     {
         m_object_pool.destroy(*it);
     }
     m_objects.clear();
}
It seems like there should be a better way of doing this... i.e.
void DestroyAllObjects()
{
     m_object_pool.destroy_all();
     m_objects.clear();
}
Also it might be nice to iterate over all the objects in the pool (in 
which case I wouldn't even need the m_objects vector.
Perhaps there is a better way to solve the problem?
I didn't get an answer on users so I thought I'd ping here.

Thanks,
