Description

This PR adds a little snippet under the find() docs describing how to populate nested fields which isn't readily apparent. It took me (and at least one other person) many hours of searching around and exhausting every option before finally sorting this out. I'm not sure if this is the best place for it, but I feel based on the lack of documentation elsewhere on using the dot notation here, it should be added somewhere at least.
