 Description   

The last warning on http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/import-export/ states:

"mongoimport and mongoexport do not reliably preserve all rich BSON data types because JSON can only represent a subset of the types supported by BSON. As a result, data exported or imported with these tools may lose some measure of fidelity. See the Extended JSON reference for more information".

but the roundtripping is now supported. See TOOLS-178.

Going in in 3.1.1

Also it would be good to include documentation on the roundtripping behavior of DBRef and DBPointer. When imported and then exported DBPointer turns into a DBRef with the same fields and a blank $db field.

Waiting for TOOLS-178 to close before finalizing.
