 Description   

The convertToCapped docs page has a warning that states:

Warning The convertToCapped will not recreate indexes from the original collection on the new collection. If you need indexes on this collection you will need to create these indexes after the conversion is complete.

While the above is true for user created indexes, the _id index is created for the converted collection. We should clarify this point as it would be easy to assume it is not given current wording.
