Is it possible to insert several documents to a MongoDB-collection with a single insert() call?

I defined 2 variables in the interactive shell of MongoDB:

a = {"letter": "a"}
b = {"letter": "b"}

Now I'd like to add them to a collection newColl in the database stackoverflow:

use stackoverflow
db.newColl.insert(a)
db.newColl.insert(b)

I was wondering, if it is possible to insert both documents in one go, for example like:

// Not working!
db.newColl.insert(a, b)

Just use arrays:

db.collection.isert([doc1:adsadad, doc2:asdad, etc, etc])

If you put both docs into an array it will work:

db.newColl.insert([a, b])
