Comment:

 I think an `idx`-style method is out of scope here, but I've refreshed the
 patch and extracted the utility into `rest_is_field_included`. I think it
 makes more sense here than in a list utilities context because it's both
 not strictly working from a list, and uses hierarchy logic that's specific
 to the REST API.
