I've got some [mongoexport] output I'd like to quickly parse. As you know, this output is pseudo-json in style. Mine looks like this:

```json
{"_id":{"$oid":"efd3"},"docs":{"77c2":{"a":1},"5031":{"a":2}}}
{"_id":{"$oid":"5a6e"},"docs":{"5d4c":{"a":3},"9d1b":{"a":4}}}
{"_id":{"$oid":"e659"},"docs":{"b932":{"a":5},"2250":{"a":6}}}
```

I'm pretty sure the object `b932` exists in there somewhere, and since each line is a discrete json document, I'll [grep] for it and pipe the output into [ConvertFrom-Json].

Easy peasy, I can see in the object level preview that the grep colorisation was preserved in the pipeline. That's fun and unexpected I guess, but I do have `export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=always'` in my `.bash_profile` which was the environment I was in before `pwsh`, so fair enough, I guess it got inherited ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway... let's see what the data for `b932` is...

...huh? What's going on, the docs are here, right...?

...yes...?

Anyway, it turns out you cannot index into document `b392` in any of the "usual" ways here

```powershell
$object.docs.b932
$object.docs.'b932'
$object.docs['b932']
```

Additionally [Get-Member] shows some... interesting output here too.

So... _what's going on!?_
