      Currently running mongodump without any arguments dumps all the databases. This could lead to accidental dumping, something which could be a problem if there is a large amount of data.

      Users coming from the MySQL world would expect mongodump to work in a similar way to mysqldump in that you must pass the argument `--all` or `-A` to dump all databases, and that calling the program without any arguments would show the help message.
