Comment (by plucmtl):

 @TimothyBlynJacobs that's not possible, because `permission_callback`'s
 return must be true, false or a WP_Error. We cannot return something
 custom in that method because it would otherwise mislabel the actual
 authorization outcome - i'm assuming that's where you're suggesting we
 return a manually crafted WP_REST_Response.
