      Background:
      I have a 69GB .bson file exported from a server via mongodump. I cannot use mongoexport to export directly from the db into a valid json document (via --jsonArray), because it is a production server and mongoexport needs more time and has no progress.
      
      Therefore, in order to export into a valid json, I would currently need to import the dump into a local mongodb and use mongoexport --jsonArray in order to export a valid json. But that takes long and is rather inconvenient.
      
      I therefore kindly request the same --jsonArray argument option for bsondump, in order to convert from a .bson on the fly into a valid .json document.
