      The aggregate function will now have the same API as the aggregate function for a collection i.e. `db.{collection}.aggregate` so

      db.aggregate({ $stage: 1 }, { $stage2: true }) 
      // equivalent to db.aggregate([{ $stage: 1 }, { $stage2: true })]);

      Problem Statement/Rationale

      When running the aggregate function over a collection, you can send a single aggregation stage without inserting it inside an array. For instance, the following example works properly:

      > db.collA.aggregate({$match:{}})
      

      However, it's not possible to run a single aggregation stage over a database:

      > db.aggregate({$listLocalSessions: {}})
      TypeError: e.some is not a function

      Steps to Reproduce

       > db.aggregate({$listLocalSessions: {}})

      Expected Results

      I would expect either to receive an error explaining that aggregate() is expecting an array, or to execute the aggregation with a single aggregation stage.

      Actual Results

      We return a misleading error:

       TypeError: e.some is not a function
