Feature Request: Close dropdown with JavaScript $().dropdown('close')

Feature Request: Add support for closing dropdowns through the JavaScript API
There is one JS method for dropdowns:
$().dropdown('toggle') // Toggles the dropdown menu of a given navbar or tabbed navigation.
docs: https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/dropdowns/#methods
Though the alert component is not exactly a parallel, I think this would provide some consistency to the API, which provides a way to close alerts:
$().alert('close') // Closes an alert by removing it from the DOM. If the .fade and .show classes are present on the element, the alert will fade out before it is removed.
docs: https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/alerts/#methods
Further, modals provide a similar close ('hide') feature.
