    Description

      MongoDB Enterprise > db.symbol.insert({_id: 1, sym: Symbol("foo")})
      		 
      Error: unable to convert JavaScript property to mongo element sym :
      		 
      addToOperationsList@src/mongo/shell/bulk_api.js:606:28
      		 
      Bulk/this.insert@src/mongo/shell/bulk_api.js:649:20
      		 
      DBCollection.prototype.insert@src/mongo/shell/collection.js:317:9
      		 
      @(shell):1:1

      The shell wants to use ValueWriter to convert the JSON document (with its Symbol property) to BSON, but ValueWriter is missing a case for the Symbol object, which should be translated to a BSONType::Symbol.
