      The $meta values "geoNearDistance"/"geoNearPoint" should be given full query support.

      Exposing "geoNearDistance" to users will allow them to get off of the $near/$nearSphere query operators, which suffer from no real query planner support and poor semantics.

      For example:

      • Preferred: find({geo: {$geoWithin: ...}}, {dist: {$meta: "geoNearDistance"}}).sort({dist: {$meta: "geoNearDistance"}})
      • Not preferred: find({geo: {$nearSphere: ...}})
