Comment (by jason_the_adams):

 Great work, @birgire. I'm still conflicted at the idea of breaking out
 another parameter. Seems redundant to have two parameters that have to do
 with querying the resource based on taxonomy.

 It seems like the biggest limiter here is
 `WP_REST_Posts_Controller::get_collection_params()` and the inability to
 defined a mixed schema?

 From the API side, I suppose this all makes sense. From an organizational
 standpoint, it feels janky to start building out multiple taxonomy
 parameters merely based on ''how'' the taxonomy is being queried. But
 maybe not?
