It would be handy, if the .fetch(DBRef) and .fetchAll([DBRef, ...]) methods are implemented, to have them as convenience functions at the "db" level also:

> use test
switched to db test
> var refs = db.testcol.findOne({},

{"linked_docs": 1}

)

{ ... }
> db.fetch(refs[0]){ ... }

> db.fetchAll(refs)

{ ... }
