It'd be handy if the page on Unique Indexes actually referenced the error code that you get when you violate it, esp. the case w/ the null (unique index and missing field).
https://github.com/mongodb/docs/blob/master/source/core/index-unique.txt
Stackoverflow pages are the first few 'hits' for the error, and our docs should be.
i.e.
E11000 duplicate key error index: ... dup key: { : null }
