I brought up the same topic last year and had a discussion with
Santiago from Oracle about this feature.

ge/7

Santiago's conclusion:

"The point is
that proxy-based APIs seems to "encourage" the wrong design decisions
by
trying to mimic the server-side resource structure. "

So too much tight coupling between consumer and provider. The way to go
is hypermedia and HATEOAS .

There is already a JIRA listed.
