Because extended is the raw output from Mongo's driver and doesn't return a
Data object or a String. It looks like this:
```
{
"date_field": {
"$date": 1234567890L
}
```
We don't mess with extended JSON because it's a safe assumption that if the
user wants that version they want the raw output for its Mongisms.
