 Hi, I was just wondering about the array wrappers for the {{{self}}} key.

 I skimmed through:

 https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/linking-and-
 embedding/

 and

 http://stateless.co/hal_specification.html
 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kelly-json-hal-08

 but I didn't see a similar {{{self}}} array HAL examples there, just
 {{{"self": { "href" :"https://..." }}}}

 So out of curiosity, is this  {{{self}}} array wrapping a special
 WordPress implementation? Thanks.
