      For: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongorestore/#cmdoption-objcheck

      It says:

      Changed in version 2.4: MongoDB enables --objcheck by default, to prevent any client from inserting malformed or invalid BSON into a MongoDB database.

      Running mongorestore:

      mongorestore --version
mongorestore version: r3.4.5
git version: 520b8f3092c48d934f0cd78ab5f40fe594f96863
Go version: go1.7
   os: darwin
   arch: amd64
   compiler: gc

2017-06-29T13:16:25.091-0500		dumping with object check disabled

      I'd recommend removing the quote regarding 2.4 behavior as the default does not use objcheck.
