      Consider this example:

      db.test.createIndex({"a.$**": 1})
// IXSCAN with "$_path" : ["[\"a.b\", \"a.b\"]", "[\"a.b.\", \"a.b/\")"] + FETCH without filter
db.test.find({'a.b': {$exists: true}}).explain()

db.test.dropIndexes()
db.test.createIndex({"a.$**": 1, b: 1})
// IXSCAN with "$_path" : ["[\"a.b\", \"a.b\"]", "[\"a.b.\", \"a.b/\")"] + FETCH with {$exists: true}
db.test.find({'a.b': {$exists: true}}).explain()

      In the above example, this behavior is unlikely to cause significant issues because the index scan already filters out all keys where `a.b` doesn't exist. However, when the wildcard part doesn't come first in the compound index, this behavior can trigger the limitation described in SERVER-83322 and prevent $exists: true from being evaluated using the CWI.
