Comment (by azaozz):

 > wondering if in the schema somewhere we have or can add a 'supports
 autosave' flag so clients know a post type supports autosaves

 Was looking at that too. But it would mean we will have to add 'autosave'
 to `post_type_supports()` too, right? There is post_type_supports
 'revision' already, the thing is that even if CPTs don't support
 revisions, we still seem to do autosaves for them. Also autosaves (with or
 without creating a revision) is somewhat basic functionality, not sure if
 we need special flag to enable it.

 > thinking we could add a helper to the wp.api client

 Yeah, think that would be great. Both for auto saving and retrieving
 autosaves.
