      When a field declared as a BSON::Binary is assigned a string value, this value remains as a string and appears to be persisted as a string:

      class MyModel
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :data,      type: BSON::Binary
end

irb(main):010:0> m = MyModel.new(data: 'test')
=> #<MyModel _id: 5df15c8b026d7c381b150ea4, data: "test">
irb(main):011:0> m.save!
=> true
irb(main):012:0> m = MyModel.find(m.id)
=> #<MyModel _id: 5df15c8b026d7c381b150ea4, data: "test">
irb(main):013:0> m
=> #<MyModel _id: 5df15c8b026d7c381b150ea4, data: "test">

      One would expect that the string would be converted to a BSON::Binary instance when the attribute is set in the model originally, then stored as a Binary.
