      It would be nice to have syntactic sugar for the following stage which I type all the time:

      {$group:{_id:"$field", count:{$sum:1}}}

      Something like {$countBy:"$field"} would be more readable and be analogous to $count and $sortByCount stages (and would use same field names as sortByCount - i.e. count field for sum)
