 Description   
  • add something, somewhere noting that the v8 engine is used under the covers with links to the v8 page at google (https://code.google.com/p/v8/) and the ECMA-262 spec (http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-9.8) which the v8 library conforms to
  • several of the built-in functions like cat(), cd(), run() aren't resolving and I could not figure out what was different about them as compared to other methods.
  • also better clarity on allowable field names, eg: "$date" is perfectly valid JavaScript / JSON but invalid inside mongodb javascript. "$date" is allowed in imports and you might see "$oid" in exports but they're translated to other fields on import. We're not clear on this.
