Comment (by nacin):

 As indicated in #27581 we can also go the JSONP route. The API now
 supports the following:
  * ?callback=
  * tag: to be comma-separated rather than an array, to save on length
  * fields: to be comma-separated rather than an array, to save on length
 (for this, it assumes all are `true`)

 I'd suggest that everything be consolidated in apiCall; other areas
 shouldn't need to know tags should be imploded; it makes it harder to
 manipulate.
