Get creation timestamp from document

Inside the creation timestamp is stored in the _id field .

Using the method getTimestamp on an ObjectiId, is possible to get the creation timestamp.

   1 // runned inside mongo shell
   2 ObjectId("52840c4facb4f200d8a6518a").getTimestamp()
   3 // returned ISODate("2013-11-13T23:33:35Z")
