In some cases it can be advantageous to group several properties under a nested document in the serialized form.
For example, the class:
public class OrderItem { public int OrderId { get; set; } public int ProductId { get; set; } public int Quantity { get; set; } }
might need to be serialized as:
{ _id : { OrderId : 1, ProductId : 2 }, Quantity : 3 }
While this serialization format could also be achieved by declaring a custom POCO to hold the OrderId/ProductId pair, there are cases where we might want the components of a compound primary key to appear at the top level in the POCO while being grouped together in a nested `_id` element in the serialized form.
We would like to support this option when using the `BsonClassMapSerializer`. This feature requires changes to the `BsonClassMapSerializer`, as well as adding code and attribute based ways to configure this.
