detail expansions #72
Description
We commonly include an envelope containing foreign keys for parent objects. To simplify and avoid n+1 queries, it can often be very useful to ask for those envelopes to be expanded to serialize the entire parent object. We've started experimenting with this at Heroku and I wanted to at least note it here and link to a raw doc around it. I want to let the experiment run a bit longer before I settle on it and include it, but wanted to give some early ideas.
