Would you please explain why BsonClassMap.AutoMap() does not map inherited members? What might the possible side effects be of changing this in the source, if any.

The changes I am considering are as follows:

• Removing any instances of BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly, namely in Bson => Serialization => Conventions => MemberFinderConventions and Bson => Serialization => BsonClassMap
• Removing check "if (memberInfo.DeclaringType != _classType)" and ensuing Exception in Bson => Serialization => BsonClassMap

Thanks for any help you can provide.
