🚀 Feature Proposal
Supporting virtual fields in aggregate will be good feature.
I know aggregate is server-side feature and virtual fields is client-side feature and aggregation results can change shape of document.

I think we can add
hasVirtualFields
to aggregate options which default is false and add virtual fields to aggregate results.Motivation
I am using aggregate function for pagination.
Since aggregate doesn't support virtual fields, I need to hydrate each aggregation result and add virtual fields to each aggregation result manually.
It will be good to do in mongoose itself.
