ReactiveMongo BSONHandler for Map

Question

I have following class, and want to use reactivemongo.bson.Macros.handler to get the reader and writer automatically.

case class Data(a: String, b: Map[String, String])
object Data {
  implicit val dataHandler = reactivemongo.bson.Macros.handler[Data]
}

But it fails to compile, saying Implicit Map[String,String] for 'value vs' not found

How to make this work? I'm using reactivemongo_2.10 0.11.10

According to this gist, I find a solution as:

case class Data(date: String, base: String, vs: Map[String, String])

object Data {
  implicit object BSONMapHandler extends BSONHandler[BSONDocument, Map[String, String]] {
    override def read(bson: BSONDocument): Map[String, String] = {
      bson.elements.map {
        case (key, value) => key -> value.asInstanceOf[BSONString].value
      }.toMap
    }

    override def write(t: Map[String, String]): BSONDocument = {
      val stream: Stream[Try[(String, BSONString)]] = t.map {
        case (key, value) => Try((key, BSONString(value)))
      }.toStream
      BSONDocument(stream)
    }
  }
  implicit val dataHandler = reactivemongo.bson.Macros.handler[Data]
}

Don't know why reactivemongo not support it by default.
