      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?

      1.x versions of js-bson will silently ignore an unknown value for an object's _bsontype, leading to cases where an object is serialized as a document rather than the intended BSON type.

      For example:

      const bson = require('bson');
      const BSON = new bson();
      
      const oid = new bson.ObjectId();
      oid._bsontype = "invalid";
      console.dir(BSON.deserialize(BSON.serialize({ a: oid }));
      // results in: {}
