Our application uses custom "_id" types and we noticed that gridfs-stream did not work as expected, tracked it down to a hard-coded support for ObjectIDs as the only supported type for "_id".
This simple pull request adds support for any type of object as the "_id", however to mantain backward compatibility strings of 12 or 24 characters are considered ObjectID identifiers and treated as such.
Added a couple of unit tests to test the new functionality.

The "_id" of a file in the GridFS can be of any type (not just ObjectID), see:
