    Description

      As we add internal-use collections such as the sessions collection or a future transactions collection, tools like mongodump will wind up dumping these collections.

      If internal-use collection can be annotated in collection options with some flag that tools can detect, then tools can omit such collections from dump operations without needing users to remember to specific exclusions or for the tools to maintain a blacklist of collections to omit.
