 Description   

I think this line is wrong:
Collections expire by way of a special index that keeps track of insertion time in conjunction with a background thread in mongod that regularly removes expired documents from the collection.

The index is on the field you specify, I don't think there's any tracking of insertion time unless it's changed since the last time I looked at the code (circa March'13).
