The current design, Mongo.jl overloads some Base functions in order to implement mongo operators.
In my opinion, this is a bad idea. For instance, the definition of in clashes with the definition in Compat, since it is defined for in(::Any).
I would like to propose to use a different namespace for Mongo operators, instead of overloading functions from Base.
Another possibility, preferable in my opinion, is to refactor these definitions to multiple-dispatch to a data-structure that is defined in this package. This way Base functions may be overloaded safely.
