      BSON::Document#to_h does not convert nested hashes. I think this behavior is non-optimal/surprising:

       

      doc = BSON::Document.new({"foo" => {"bar" => 100}})

doc.class #=> BSON::Document -- OK

doc['foo'].class #=> BSON::Document -- OK

hash = doc.to_h

hash.class #=> Hash -- OK

hash['foo'].class #=> BSON::Document -- YIKES, UNEXPECTED!!

      I think this is probably ok to fix without adding a feature flag, since BSON::Document is already "duck-typed" to have the same methods as Hash, I can't imagine fixing it will actually break any apps.
