"set" question for Bourne shell scripts

The Bourne shell allows you to set the positional parameters with:
set a b c d e
so that
$1 yields a
$2 yields b
$3 yields c
$4 yields d
$5 yields e
$# yields 5
regardless of the parameters given to the shell script on the command line.
Now, my question is, how do you remove all parameters, i.e. set $# to 0?
If you just say
set
you get a listing of all of the shell variables and their values.
