MongoOptions.java supports the enabling of socket keep alive, yet the option is not accessible through MongoURI.java. Is there a specific reason for this? or can the option be enabled by adding the following code to MongoURI.java in the parseOptions method?

(after line 171 in v2.6.3 of MongoURI.java)
else if ( key.equals( "socketKeepAlive" ) ) _options.autoConnectRetry = _parseBoolean( value );
