Description

If a document has a (nested) field named 'constructor', any map which attempts to emit the document will instead silently discard it.

For example, the document
{ "_id": "CSC190H1S",
"_rev": "32-287eec55e59305ee94129a0be940bf41",
"outcomes":

{ "constructor": [ "knowledge" ] }

}

will silently be excluded by any view which attempts to emit "doc" or "doc.outcomes" .
