Using $set on a collection of nested documents

[tonywok]

Hey there,

First of all, thanks for making mongomatic!

While using it, I needed to update a document that was nested in the collection of a parent document. Anyway, I hacked in a little fix and included a test exposing the issue.

Oh, and I also added .rvmrc to the gitignore file so no one picked up my .rvmrc. Just ignore this if it's not your style :)

Something along the lines of this broke trying to convert a string into a fixnum:

@story.update({:'chapters.0.status' => 'complete'})

whereas, this worked in the interactive mongo shell

db.story.update({'_id' : some_id}, {$set : { 'chapters.0.status' : 'complete'}})

Thanks,
Tony Schneider

I can recreate the bug by running:

@story.set('chapters.0.status', 'complete');

I think this was brought up a while back but no one provided a test case or a good solution. I think its good to merge.
