      Currently the code associated with an error in mongosh is only available through the logs
      https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/logs/#view-mdb-shell-logs
      or
      Users can use _error to access the last uncaught exception as a JS value, i.e. _error.code and _error.codeName.

      The legacy shell exposed the error code as part of the response. As this error code can sometimes be useful for debugging the issue I think it would make sense to surface the error code in the response in mongosh as well.
