      A lot of confusion is caused by the name of `findAndModify` command as "find and modify" is literally what an update does. Since findAndModify actually returns the document that was updated, a less confusing name would be something descriptive like modifyAndReturn or updateAndReturn.

      To be not-backwards breaking it could be an alias for existing command until such time as it could be deprecated.
