      By analyzing the pipeline from back to front, if projections use inclusion, we can infer what fields we will need to evaluate the pipeline. If this is carried back to the beginning of the pipeline in a cumulative way (including indirect references in expressions), then we can get the complete set of fields that we need. Use this to limit the fields that are added to the reified documents at the head of the pipeline to reduce the amount of data passing through pipelines. May not be a significant change for pipelines that don't includes $sort or $group, but potentially a huge savings for those that do.
