I just had a quick look at it because I've never used MongoDB before
and was interested.

This line[1] makes me want to cry (not your fault). There's always
"this one catch" with a solution that looks perfect otherwise. Now
you've got to escape everything. I had a look at the documentation
afterwards and it looks like you'll need to introduce another special
case for the "$"[2].

Cheers,
Lars
