      Can create indices, for example:

      > coll.ensureIndex({'x.$a':1})
> coll.getIndexes()
[
	{
		"v" : 1,
		"name" : "_id_",
		"ns" : "test.t",
		"key" : {
			"_id" : 1
		}
	},
	{
		"v" : 1,
		"ns" : "test.t",
		"key" : {
			"x.$a" : 1
		},
		"name" : "x.$a_1"
	}
]

      You can also create an index that contains an empty field name, i.e.: "x..a"

      As you cannot save/insert/upsert a field with that name, it seems like incorrect behavior to be able to index on it.
