Re: [Specifications] External operations

While I agree with all of your concerns, I don't see any of them as blockers for Hydra providing this as a feature. The problem with reverse operations, for instance, only exists for APIs that use reverse operations, which I assume most won't.

I also assume most APIs won't use external operations, but those who do might do it to increase cache hits on operations that are similar across many different responses, for instance.  

@vasilakisfil's use-case is to simplify the responses so much so that they look just like "ordinary", hypermedia-free JSON. While I disagree with that design goal, I can see why it exists and how it may attract certain kinds of developers.
