    Description

      Why can't $elemMatch be used in the $project phase? It would allow me to easily select an element out of an array.

      Example:

      db.person.aggregate([
        { "$project": {'main_event' :
          {'$events_array': {'$elemMatch' : {
            'event_status' : 'main'
          }}}
        }}
      ]);

      Basically what I'm looking for is an easier way to convert an array into a scalar without having to $unwind and then re-$group, which is taxing for proc time.
