Comment (by joehoyle):

 38131.4.diff looks good to me. Questions I asked @kadamwhite just for a
 log:

 - Does this work with `_envelope`? Yes, it does.
 - Is there an issue if you pass a field that doesn't exist? No.
 - Should we include `_links` regardless of requested data? Given this is
 opt-in behavior we want to allow people to get super tiny responses,
 `_links` can be bigger than the actual response.
