Use Case

As a BSON user
I want static builders (Binary.createFromBase64, Timestamp.fromBits, etc.) to use the current constructor, "this"
So that my subclasses are built by these methods.

User Experience

• What is the desired/expected outcome for the user once this ticket is implemented?
  • (class SuperLong extends Long {}).fromString("2") returns SuperLong

Dependencies

• None

Risks/Unknowns

• What could go wrong while implementing this change? (e.g., performance, inadvertent behavioral changes in adjacent functionality, existing tech debt, etc)
  • N/A. Feature.
• Is there an opportunity for better cross-driver alignment or testing in this area?
  • No
• Is there an opportunity to improve existing documentation on this subject?
  • API docs can mention this

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• Audit all static builder functions for hardcoded use of their constructor and change them to use "this" instead.
  • In a static method "this" is the current class

Testing Requirements

• Regression testing

Documentation Requirements

• API docs

Follow Up Requirements

• Could this be a lint rule?
