Comment (by jnylen0):

 If `_embed` is parsed as a standard parameter using the REST API parameter
 parsing logic, then JSON parameters should "just work".

 However, looking through the current code I see that this is not the case.
 So I guess we can just stick with `$_GET['_embed']` and not worry about
 JSON parsing for now.

 I am strongly -1 on adding a new parameter here.  We can pretty easily
 support both existing and new use cases with the same parameter - the
 `?_embed` cases I outlined above should be sufficient.
