Use Case

As a... application developer
I want... to set options for the explain command through the explain helper
So that... I can control its behavior the same way I can do it with other commands

User Impact

Compass user reports explain with queryPlanner taking multiple hours in HELP-60113 because maxTimeMS is applied to the inner command, not the explain itself, and there is no way to set maxTimeMS for the explain call itself.

Dependencies

The behavior described in that HELP ticket is about usage of explain in Compass.
