Automatic conversion from the Object-ified value to an element is provided via the DocumentBuilder.add(String, Object) method. Not all element types will be successfully converted to the same element duing a Element-->Object value-->Element conversion. This cases are noted in the appropriate sub-type's JavaDoc.

Sub-types will also overload this method with the appropriate type returned. e.g., The StringElement.getValueAsObject() method signature returns a String.

2. The value of the _id field in the referenced document: $id.
3. The name (string or symbol) of the database where the referenced document resides: $db (Optional).

Returns:

True if this sub-document conforms to the MongoDB DBRef convention, false otherwise.
