Research direction

Start by tracing how include expands child resources and how included resources are represented in the response. Define the intended pagination or child-limit behavior, including its request syntax and completion criteria, before identifying the relevant implementation and tests.

Description

Priority: High Target: 0.10 Type: Enhancement

In trying to debug some performance issues I discovered that whenever include is used to include child resources that ALL of the children are included in the response. Is there a way to paginate those, or just to include the first X children? (I suspect that my search-fu is weak this morning because I'm having trouble finding any issues that talk about this, but I'd be surprised if I'm the first person to have this problem.)
