--------------------------+----------------------------
 In response to the request for support for batching REST API requests in
 #50244, it is important to note that, as mentioned in the original
 developer’s note [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/11/20/rest-api-
 batch-framework-in-wordpress-5-6/], GET requests are currently not
 supported. This restriction was implemented due to concerns about the
 potential impact on database performance if a large number of GET requests
 were made.

 However, it is possible to mitigate this concern by limiting GET requests
 to users who have access to the block editor. This would allow for the
 efficient handling of GET requests without compromising database
 performance.
