      $unwind operates on a single array field. sometimes tag-like information can be stored in multiple document fields. it may be useful to allow $unwind to operate on multiple array fields whose contents have been combined by some set/array operation. this could help users group by values that are contained across multiple fields.

      i.e.

      {x: [s1, s2], y: [s2, s3]}

      $unwind(x).$unwind(y) would create four documents.

      would something like $unwind($union(x,y)) and group on $union(x,y) be possible/desirable?
