      On a sharded collection,

      coll.createIndex({shardKey: 1, notShardKey: 1})
      coll.explain().aggregate([
        {$match: {shardKey: {$gte: "foo"}}}, 
        {$group: {_id: "$notShardKey"}}
      ])
      

      seems to result in an IXSCAN, even though a DISTINCT_SCAN on could be used. The equivalent distinct() command results in a DISTINCT_SCAN.
