Research direction

Start by reproducing the query in the issue and comparing its result with Datomic's expected result. Trace how repeated query variables are handled in query evaluation, especially with aggregates, then add a regression test for the supplied data and query. Done means the query returns 1, matching Datomic.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

With this query:

(q '[:find (count ?e) .
     :with ?i
     :where [?e :r ?e ?i]]
   [[1 :r 1 10]
    [2 :r 1 11]])

I get 1 with Datomic but 2 in datascript. It appears the test for two occurrences of a query variable is tested too late.
