      We should add more documentation on how to use CodecOptions. For example, it's very simple to configure pymongo to return dictionaries that also support convenient attribute access:

      from pymongo import MongoClient

class AttributeDict(dict):
    """A dict that supports attribute access."""
    def __getattr__(self, key):
        return self[key]

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        self[key] = value

client = MongoClient(document_class=AttributeDict)
client.test.test.insert_one({'field': {'nested': {'field': 1}}})
doc = client.test.test.find_one({})
assert doc.field.nested.field == 1
