      Although Mongoid takes into account the the type of the fields defined in a class to build the Queries selectors, it fails to take into account the embedded records' attributes type.  See the example below:

      class Person
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name, type: String
  field :age, type: Integer

  embeds_one :address
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :address
end

class Address
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :zip_code, type: String
  field :number, type: Integer

  embedded_in :company
end

query = Person.where(age: "28", "address.number" => "1000", "address.zip_code" => "72000-123")
# => #<Mongoid::Criteria
# selector: {"age"=>28, "address.number"=>"1000", "address.zip_code"=>"72000-123"}
# options:  {}
# class:    Person
# embedded: false>

      Since Mongoid provides a clean interface for querying objects based on embedded records' attributes, I was expecting it to consider the types of embedded class fields, although this behavior is not explicitly documented.

      However, I'm not sure whether this should be considered a bug or a new feature 

      Thanks in advance.
