      There may be times when the index of an array element is interesting. $unwind
      could provide an option to emit this. For example

      instead of just 

      db.runCommand({ aggregate:"c", pipeline:[
    { $unwind: "$arrayField"}
]});

      consider also supporting something like this:

      db.runCommand({ aggregate:"c", pipeline:[
    { $unwind: { path: "$arrayField", includeArrayIndex: boolean }}
]});

      The effect of this is the same except that it also adds a new field index
      to the output which is assigned the index of the array element.
