ensureIndex does not take an "options" object?

[Keith Irwin]

Hello!

I need to "ensure" an index but because the table has 30 million objects in it, I want the indexing operation (if needed) to run in the background. 

  http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Indexing+as+a+Background+Operation

According to the Java driver you can call ensureIndex with two parameters, a list of of indexes, and a list of options:

  http://api.mongodb.org/java/current/com/mongodb/DBCollection.html#ensureIndex(com.mongodb.DBObject,%20com.mongodb.DBObject)

I'm not seeing this with the Casbah version. Am I missing something? Or is this a missing feature that should be added?

Here's what I want to be able to do:

  val indexes = MongoDBObject("foo" -> 1, "location" -> "2d")

  val options = MongoDBObject("background" -> true)

  collection.ensureIndex(indexes, options)

I suppose I can use createIndex, which in my particular circumstance might be okay, or collection.underlying, but, still...

According to my build.sbt, I'm using 2.1.5.0.

According to (http://api.mongodb.org/scala/casbah/) this is the most recent release (if I'm reading that correctly).

I'm using the "underlying" method, which works just fine. Please don't push out a special fix-up just for me. If you think it's a good thing to add, the "next version" is soon enough, especially if I'm the only one using it.

I can post this as an issue in Github if you want.
