Currently, querying / updating deeply nested fields works perfectly, as long as those fields aren't objects themselves.

When they are objects:

4.8.0

Create a type:

type User = {

  pet: {

    name: {

      first: string;

      last: string;

// This works when it shouldn't

const query: mongodb.Filter<User> = { "pet.name": { first: 1 } };

// This doesn't work when it should

const update: mongodb.UpdateFilter<User> = { "pet.name": { first: "a", last: "b" } }
