Maybe "rows" should be a default ?_extra=... but it should be possible to request "arrays" instead which would be a list of arrays, more suitable perhaps for custom renderers such as the CSV one.

This could be quite neat, in that EVERY key in the JSON representation would be defined as an extra - just some would be on by default. There could even be a mechanism for turning them back off again, maybe using ?_extra=-rows.

In which case maybe ?_extra= isn't actually the right name for this feature. It could be ?_key= perhaps, or ?_field=.

Being able to pass ?_field=count,-rows to get back just the count (and skip executing the count entirely) would be pretty neat.

Although ?_only=count would be tidier. So maybe the pair of ?_only= and ?_extra= would make sense.

Would ?_only=rows still return the "ok" field so you can always look at that to confirm an error didn't occur?
