Remove specific fields using `updateDocuments` - feature request/question

See original GitHub issue

In the regular Firestore JS API, you can do:

docRef.update({
    "field.subfield": firebase.firestore.FieldValue.delete()
});

to remove a specific field from a document.
Is there any way of doing that with this library as well? Or do I have to set the whole document to everything but that specific field (which of course costs more time as I have to do another API read call).

Other Comments

I also tried to update the field to null/undefined, but that does not work, it simply sets that field to null.
