      This proposes closing SERVER-29376 and instead allowing combination of both, localField and foreignField and expressive pipeline.

      {$lookup:{from:"other",
                localField:"l",
                foreignField:"f",
                as:"fromOther"
                [, pipeline: [ ... ] ]  /* optionally add a pipeline to apply *after* equality join */

      This allows preserving the non-expressive lookup equality semantics with additional flexibility of using anything along with it like $sort and $limit etc.
