 * `query` is the same kind of finding query you use with `find` and `findOne`
 * `update` specifies how the documents should be modified. It is either a new document or a set of modifiers (you cannot use both together, it doesn't make sense!)
   * A new document will replace the matched docs
-  * The modifiers create the fields they need to modify if they don't exist, and you can apply them to subdocs. Available field modifiers are `$set` to change a field's value, `$unset` to delete a field, `$inc` to increment a field's value and `$min`, `$max` to change field's value, only if provided value is less (greater equivalently for $max) than the current field's value. To work on arrays, you have `$push`, `$pop`, `$addToSet`, `$pull`, and the special `$each` and `$slice`. See examples below for the syntax.

 * `options` is an object with two possible parameters
   * `multi` (defaults to `false`) which allows the modification of several documents if set to true
   * `upsert` (defaults to `false`) if you want to insert a new document corresponding to the `update` rules if your `query` doesn't match anything. If your `update` is a simple object with no modifiers, it is the inserted document. In the other case, the `query` is stripped from all operator recursively, and the `update` is applied to it.
