      1. What would you like to communicate to the user about this feature?
      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?
      3. Which versions of the driver/connector does this apply to?

      Currently, we accept user types in the driver via serde only. This has a bunch of downsides:

      • it locks the driver and the user into serde rather than any alternative (e.g. facet)
      • it makes serde a hard dependency of the driver
      • it leaves potential optimizations (avoiding copies / extra work with raw documents) unavailable

      We can solve these by implementing a bson conversion interface that uses pluggable tags, as demonstrated in this Rust playground.
