Comment:

 [attachment:35329.diff] adds the `rest_internal_request()` function
 created by joehoyle and a new `rest_get_server()` function to get (and
 maybe set) the server instance. Not sure if the former is needed, but
 `rest_get_server()` feels like a great idea. Just think of all the places
 where `global $wp_rest_server` wouldn't be needed anymore.
