[SERVER-5299] array element selection syntax returns wrong result - MongoDB Jira

JSON

Tried the following:

db = db.getSiblingDB('qa');

db.foo.save({b:[1, 2, 3, 4]});

db.foo.find({}, {"b.2":1});

Result is an empty array:

{ "_id" : ObjectId("4f5f95b285228a256ddccf7e"), "b" : [ ] }

Is that supposed to work, or are we just not detecting the unsupported syntax?

Since it has to be quoted anyway, it would be nicer if this worked:

> db.foo.find({}, {"b[2]":1});

{ "_id" : ObjectId("4f5f95b285228a256ddccf7e") }
