I disagree. Link should be a request factory, thats it. If you have
anything even slightly complex, an Invocation will need to get created
anyways, i.e. if the Link is a uri with path parameters or if you want
to set a specific query parameter. Also, with a post, or put you'll
want to set the entity body, form parameters, etc. Besides all you're
saving is:
link.request().get();
vs.
link.get()
Not a big deal, IMO.
