 register_post_type() uses WP_Rewrite::add_rule() when creating rewrites
 for CPT archives, and this means no endpoints.

 I don't think that the ROOT of the site is ever an archive view really
 (and it people want to include it they can OR it in) I think have
 different behaviour for / not for page on front could be confusing and
 would mean we would need to flush and regen rules if the option changed.

 I'm not sure if EP_CPT_ARCHIVE is currently usable but it is something
 that I feel should be usable - use case something like the example JSON
 endpoint above would automatically get a JSON version of any CPT archive
 view if it works ( I can't remember how I tested at the time but I can
 probably dig the code out - I was working around the concepts of a Person
 CPT with the CPT Archives be "People")
