For import, allow an import format that is simply running a set of Mongo console commands on a database, much like it is possible to run arbitrary SQL queries in SQL management programs.
Alternately, allow an Import/Export format for a collection that may optionally hold the collection's name and indices, and not just the data.
Likewise, an option to Import/Export several collections or an entire database from/into a single file.
Any or all of these features would be invaluable when moving data between development and production databases. Currently, this can only be done by manually exporting the data of each collection, then creating it manually on the target database, importing the data, and setting up the indices manually. If the number of collections is large, this can be very cumbersome.
