Hi - a quick question about Couchbase Lite .NET. I did quite a bit of 
searching and couldn't find any information about this, so here goes:

I have the following document in my database with id "myDoc":

{
    "nestedObject": {
        "name": "Nesty",
        "someProperty": true
    },
    "someArray": [
        "Red", "Green", "Blue"
    ]
}

Here's my code:

// Get the database and document
var database = Manager.SharedInstance.GetDatabase("myDatabase");
var doc = database.GetDocument("myDoc");

// Get the property and write its type to Console
var property = doc.GetProperty("nestedObject");
Console.WriteLine(property.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName); // Returns 
Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject??

I would have expected to get back an IDictionary<string, object> from 
GetProperty when accessing the nested object. So now if want to get at 
'someProperty' I have to do this:

var property = (JObject)doc.GetProperty("nestedObject");
var someProperty = (bool)property["someProperty"];

Similarly, look at this code:

var property = doc.GetProperty("someArray");
Console.WriteLine(property.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName); // Returns 
Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray??


Is this the intended behavior, or am I missing something? I actually think 
this is kind of cool, because the Json.NET's LINQ-to-JSON API is really 
cool. I really wish you could do this:

JObject docObject = doc.ToJObject(); // Or something similar


So anyway, my main question here is:  If I rely on these underlying 
Json.NET objects, will they be pulled out from under me at some point in 
the future, or is this the way it will stay?
