 `WP_Query` and other core query classes allow you to pass `fields=ids` in
 order to get back only a list of matching object IDs. This lets you skip a
 lot of the extra querying that is normally done to pull up object data,
 prime caches, and so on.

 It would be nice to have something similar for BP activity queries. I just
 built something that needs to query activity for utility purposes, and all
 of the extra stuff - priming caches, generating activity strings, and so
 on - adds a ton of overhead.
