/**
 * Thin jQuery.ajax wrapper for WP REST API requests.
 *
 * Currently only applies to requests that do not use the `wp-api.js` Backbone
 * client library, though this may change.  Serves several purposes:
 *
 * - Allows overriding these requests as needed by customized WP installations.
 * - Sends the REST API nonce as a request header.
 * - Allows specifying only an endpoint namespace/path instead of a full URL.
 *
 * @since     4.9.0
