Do we want to be more forgiving and deserialize whatever we find instead of requiring that the stored documents match the configured format?

I was also thinking about that and I'm not super sure of this either. My thought on this was:

  • I suppose developers would prefer to have their DateOnly in one format in the database
  • If they were serializing DateOnly before, then they probably are in the DateOnlyDocumentFormat .HumanReadable format, while now they're serialized by default in the DateOnlyDocumentFormat.Classic format.
  • I think it would be better to raise an error as soon as possible, to make developers aware of these inconsistencies, before they realize it further down the road
    What do you think?

It really throws me off to see is instead of ==

I started doing that mostly because I think it is convenient to use this form when one must check if the enum is one of multiple values:
v is Enum.A or Enum.B vs v == Enum.A || v == Enum.B
And from there I started using also when there is only value, for consistency, even though there is no particular advantage here.
Of course I can put == if we prefer.

Probably should include _documentFormat in line 291 below.
