Comment (by azaozz):

 Still TBD/TODO:
 - I agree that passing a flag in the request (when saving or retrieving
 autosaves) may not be the best. As far as I see the only alternative is to
 set `post_type: 'autosave'` and then to "convert" it to the proper
 `post_type = 'revision'` as soon as the request is received. As there is
 no `'autosave'` post_type in WordPress, this may be confusing.
 - Add few more tests (perhaps) for edge cases.
