      This seems like an inconsistency. I'd assume that {a: {$gte: X}} should return a superset of {a: X} for all values of X. However this doesn't hold for arrays:

      > db.z.drop()
true
> db.z.insert({a:[1,2]})
> db.z.find({a:[1,2]})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("526aa2fad081e73cd00ecfd9"), "a" : [  1,  2 ] }
> db.z.find({a:{$gte:[1,2]}})
>
