encode gives wrong results for objects embedded in vectors

[shlomi-nx]

> encode({f:[{a:{b:2}}]})
   {“f”:[{“a.b”:2}]})

However, sticking that in mongo's update does not give the desired results:

> db.test.update({..}, {$set : {“f”:[{“a.b”:2}]}})
{ “_id” : ObjectId("…"), ... , “f” : [ { “a.b” : 2 } ] }

Essentially, the dot-notation is only relevant in top-level entries. Anything below, mongo treats as the key name directly.

I would think that the correct behavior of encode should be to not recursively apply dot notations into vectors.

I didn't use it for mutations... and I'm not sure that using it for mutations it's a good idea.
