Please add a way to fetch multiple nodes at once via REST API. Batch mode is both not very user-friendly for this particular operation and is marked in the docs as experimental in red, which scares client developers like me away. A separate operation that takes a list of ids and returns a list of nodes almost the same way GETting one node works would be much more useful.

Currently to receive 100+ nodes at once I have to do 100+ round trips, which is not efficient (and won't be even with binary protocol).
