Comment:

 IMO, we should close this as maybelater. The API can already handle PATCH
 requests, you just need to handle the patch format yourself in the
 endpoints. I think we should work out how we want JSON Patch operations to
 work first before we roll it into the infrastructure; the customiser
 provides a good place to do that and experiment.

 Right now, something like this should already work:
 {{{
 register_rest_route( 'customizer/v1', '/test', array(
         'methods' => 'PATCH',
         'callback' => function ( WP_REST_Request $request ) {
                 $body = $request->get_body();

                 // Parse JSON Patch format into instructions
                 $data = Some_JSON_Patch_Parser::parse( $body );

                 // Do something with the instructions
         }
 );
 }}}
