Populate virtuals with options requires re-define the target model

[scucchiero]

Not a big deal, Lil' improvement.

After defining my model and adding a populable virtual prop.

MyModel.virtual(
  "myVirtual"
  {
    ref: "MyOtherModel"
    localField: "_id",
    foreignField: "theFieldIWant,
    justOne: false,
    match: {
      type: 'thisType'
    },
    options: {
      limit: 2
    },
  }
);

The following will work as expected.

const gameAccountStats = await MyModel.findById(documentId)
      .populate("myVirtual")

If I need to tweak the populate options such as:

MyModel
      .findById(myDocumentId)
      .populate({
        path: "myVirtual",
        match: { createdAt: { $gte: startDate, $lte: endDate } },
        options: {
          limit: 1,
        }
      });

Won't work as expected, meaning it will return null.

But if I re-define the model within the options it gets back to business again

MyModel
      .findById(myDocumentId)
      .populate({
        model: "MyOtherModel",
        path: "myVirtual",
        match: { createdAt: { $gte: startDate, $lte: endDate } },
        options: {
          limit: 1,
        }
      });

Happy holidays

Misuse on my end.
