    Description

      > db.c.createIndex({a:1})
      > db.c.insert({a:1})
      WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })
      > db.c.aggregate({$group: {_id: "$a"}})
      { "_id" : 1 }
      > db.c.explain().aggregate({$group: {_id: "$a"}})
      // Distinct scan!
      > db.c.explain().aggregate([{$group: {_id: "$a"}}], {hint: {$natural: 1}})
      // Still distinct scan
      

      This is probably because of the special codepath here which doesn't consider the hint.
