      When we have a query on a clustered collection that both filters and sorts on the clustered index key, we generate two of the same plan.

      First time:

      https://github.com/10gen/mongo/blob/726e809bf3789c91c108b1db1e7edcc88a0f4c3e/src/mongo/db/query/query_planner.cpp#L1533

      Then again here:

      https://github.com/10gen/mongo/blob/726e809bf3789c91c108b1db1e7edcc88a0f4c3e/src/mongo/db/query/query_planner.cpp#L1622 

      This doesn’t cause incorrect results because both plans are correct, but it will make us cache plans and do multi planning in situations where we otherwise wouldn’t have to.
