Currently, RestAdapter expects everything in the returned JSON to correspond to model data. This is even more strictly enforced with the introduction of side-loading.

An extremely common scenario, however, is for the server to return metadata associated with the query, e.g. aggregate counts, pagination info, etc. The ability to capture this information is also the first step for features such as pagination.
