This is great. But I'd love to see colours for any ObjectId in the output and also for the collection names :)

ooh good idea. I'm going to wait until the next mongo ruby driver is released for that though. they just updated it with easier to override instrumentation methods for those types of things.

@visnup I too liked the idea. Gonna watch it or have you already started?

ooh, mongo ruby driver 1.2.1 just got released. I'll see if I can update it.
