    Description

      At present, there's no way to extract a specific element from an array-valued field. An operator should be added that could be used in a projection, e.g.:

      db.runCommand({aggregate:"c", pipeline:[
      { $project : {
      foo :

      { $at:["$arrayField", 5] }

      }}
      ]});

      The effect of this would be put add the computed field (virtual field) foo to the projection, and give it the value of arrayField[5].
