      1. What would you like to communicate to the user about this feature?
      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?
      3. Which versions of the driver/connector does this apply to?

      When $or produces a single branch, the query can be simplified to contain just the branch on the top level. For example:

      irb(main):008:0> Band.or(hello:1)
=> 
#<Mongoid::Criteria
  selector: {"$or"=>[{"hello"=>1}]}
  options:  {}
  class:    Band
  embedded: false>

# equivalent to
 => 
#<Mongoid::Criteria
  selector: {"hello"=>1}
  options:  {}
  class:    Band
  embedded: false>

      Note that, per https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongoid/master/reference/queries/#logical-operations, this simplification must only be performed when the left side of .or doesn't have any conditions and right side has only one condition, i.e. it is insufficient to just check the arguments to .or.
