Ability to change the data without destroy/recreate a select2 input

[ggregoire]

Hi @ivaynberg!

Is it possible to change the data of a select2 input (not the selection but the whole data array)?

$input.select2({
    data: myData,
    width: '300px',
    placeholder: GLO_LANG_SELECT,
    // others properties
}).on('change', function (e) {
    add(e.val);
}).on('others events' ...

Then

$input.select2().data = myNewData;

It will be very helpful!
