      I'm trying to get distinct values for keys inside of array:

      > use test
      switched to db test
      > db.coll.insert({foo:[

      {bar1: "baz11"}

      ,

      {bar1: "baz22"}

      ]});
      ObjectId("4b853fad1ee5c842365f1d6e")
      > db.coll.find();
      { "_id" : ObjectId("4b853fad1ee5c842365f1d6e"), "foo" : [

      { "bar1" : "baz11" }

      ,

      { "bar1" : "baz22" }

      ] }
      > db.coll.distinct("foo.bar1");
      [ ]

      I get empty result, but I'm waiting for [ "baz11", "baz22" ] because of "dot notation"
