title: Is there a findById shortcut for the MongoDB shell?
body: <p>The most common thing I do in the mongo DB shell is find objects by ID, eg:</p>
  
  <pre><code>db.collection.find({_id: ObjectId("55a3e051dc75954f0f37c2f2"})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do this over and over and I find having to wrap the id with ObjectId over and over gets old. I wish I had a <code>findById</code>-like shorthand form like what mongoose provides. I feel like the shell ought to be smart enough to figure out what I mean here for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>db.collection.find("55a3e051dc75954f0f37c2f2")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How might I do this? Or are there any alternative ways of querying by id in the mongo shell?</p>
