Set class collection name

[Alex Brown]

By default, if I have a class called "MyClass" it is serialized into a collection called "myclass"

Is there a way of overriding this in the BsonClassMap?

For example, an attribute on the class, or a Convention?

If not, I'm happy to fork this and try and implement.

Just don't want to double up...

That doesn't currently exist and you must specify this value everytime.  There is a Jira for this feature:  https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CSHARP-126. It is important, vote it up or leave a comment.
