-----------------------------+-----------------------------
 When performing a REST API request and adding the _embed and _fields query
 parameters. the API attempts to skip unneeded fields but does not embed
 resources that are linked with embeddable set to true.

 In some cases we may need _embed  and _fields in the same query.
 I am requesting the feature to be added to allow the filtering of
 resources and embedding them (the embeddable ones) at the same time when
 specifying the _embed and _fields.

 Example:
 http://<site>/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_fields=title,author&_embed=author

 If implemented, the above request should only return title and author, and
 embed the author.
