Comment:

 After discussion with @rmccue, at this time (4.9) we plan to move forward
 with basic support for filtering out non-nested fields at the
 infrastructure level. `38131.2.diff` is the best candidate at the moment.

 Adding support for nesting can be handled as an enhancement later, whereas
 we couldn't easily back out from supporting nesting. I think we want to
 think through how we could leverage that to better avoid some of the work
 on the server before we go too far down that rabbit hole.
