Allow updating an entire document

This is linked to issue #82. The MongoDB documentation indicates that it is possible to replace all fields of a document at once: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/#example-update-replace-fields

However, when I do a MyColl.update({id: docId}, {field1: val1, field2, val2}), the update fails with the error: Error: When the modifier option is true, all validation object keys must be operators. Did you forget $set?

Is that intended or am I doing something wrong?

I had the same problem, see aldeed/meteor-collection2/issues/355 One workaround is to use not validate:false, but bypassCollection2:true

+1 for adding this.

According to Meteor docs, an upsert modifier may contain a whole document: http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/modifiers

It would be really nice if SimpleSchema would support this, since it is quite errorprone to create a $set for all of the document’s values.
