      When trying to use a $lookup with pipeline and a $geoNear stage, there is no way to pass an argument in the let field into the $geoNear stage.

      e.g.

      { 
            "$lookup" : {
                "from" : "regions", 
                "let" : {
                    "point" : "$location"
                }, 
                "pipeline" : [
                    {
                        "$geoNear" : {
                            "spherical" : true, 
                            "maxDistance" : 10000.0, 
                            "distanceField" : "distance", 
                            "uniqueDocs" : true, 
                            "near" : "$$point"
                        }
                    }
                ], 
                "as" : "regions"
            }
}
