Comment (by westonruter):

 On a related note, it would be great if in addition to indicating a embed
 subsetting if we could use a similar construct to indicate that resources
 should be embedded recursively along a specified tree. For example, if I
 wanted to get the recent posts along with their comments embedded and the
 embedded comments' own authors also embedded a third level down, maybe I
 could do so with a request like:

 `/wp/v2/posts?_embed[]=comments/author`

 I understand this is maybe encroaching on GraphQL territory, but just
 wanted to mention recursive embedding as the flip side of being able to
 limit embedding.
