       Configure  snapshot  reads  for a session. If true (false by default), each read operation in the session
       will be sent with a "snapshot" level read concern. After the first read operation ("find", "aggregate" or
       "distinct"), subsequent read operations will read  from  the  same  point  in  time  as  the  first  read
       operation.  Set  to  true  to  enable  snapshot  reads.  See  theofficialdocumentationforReadConcern"snapshot".

       Snapshot reads and causal consistency are mutually exclusive. Attempting to set both to true will  result
       in an error. See mongoc_session_opts_set_causal_consistency().

       Snapshot  reads  can  only  be  used  on MongoDB server version 5.0 and later and cannot be used during a
       transaction. A write operation in a snapshot-enabled session will also result in an error.
