---------------------------+-----------------------------
 Sometimes a plugin needs to change the parameters of an already registered
 REST API endpoint.
 Now we need to override the whole WP_REST_Controller::register_routes
 method to achieve it. Unfortunately, that leads to code duplication, and
 that is not the best practice.
 See an example of this here:
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/lib/class-wp-rest-menu-
 items-controller.php#L26].

 We should add a new filter (add_filter) at the very beginning of the
 register_rest_route's function body. That filter must allow to modify all
 arguments of the register_rest_route function.
