Given a struct



    type Struct struct {
        Field string
    }

mgo will save the field Field in mongodb with a low case key "field" . Is is possible to change that behavior without using struct tags ? why was this decision taken at first place ?

The rationale is that lowercasing is the most common pattern on MongoDB uses.

We can always change the behavior, but it takes some effort to do that in a compatible way.
