      Using method like https://api.mongodb.org/libbson/current/bson_append_int32.html, it appears that API consumers can choose the key for values not just in documents, but also in arrays. This will create BSON documents that violate the BSON spec: which says:

      Array - The document for an array is a normal BSON document with integer values for the keys, starting with 0 and continuing sequentially. For example, the array ['red', 'blue'] would be encoded as the document {'0': 'red', '1': 'blue'}. The keys must be in ascending numerical order

      This has caused users some problems when consuming documents created by the C driver. See JAVA-1618.
