      Per https://github.com/mongodb/mongoid/pull/5047, the user-visible change is that pluck and distinct methods will now respect field aliases.

      Currently, database_field_name only works for fields specified without a period delimiter.

      If I have embedded docs with "store_as" and field aliases, then this:

      Person.database_field_name("phones.country_code.iso_alpha2_code")

      should return as it is stored in DB, for example:

      "phs.cc.iso"

      This change will not break any existing used functionality of database_field_name, it just makes it work correctly in more cases.
