      We already simplify the $element value form to a trivially false expression.

      Compare:

      db.test.find({"a.m":{$elemMatch:{$in:[]}}}).explain(true)
...
winningPlan: { isCached: false, stage: 'EOF', type: 'predicateEvalsToFalse' },

      db.test.find({a:{$elemMatch:{m:{$in:[]}}}}).explain(true)
...
    winningPlan: {
      isCached: false,
      stage: 'COLLSCAN',
      filter: { a: { '$elemMatch': { '$alwaysFalse': 1 } } },
      direction: 'forward'
    },
