@dalanmiller Maybe I don't understand how `$project` works, but it seems to me that it's identical to our `pluck`, just with a more verbose syntax. The only field you can...

@deontologician Woah I didn't know that. I'll open a docs issue.

@dalanmiller I don't think `$project` supports that. If you only specify `false`s, you'll get an empty document (except for `_id` if you don't explicitly `false` that too).

I agree with @mlucy that `pluck` probably covers most use cases. I can't come up with a good syntax that combines both `pluck` and `without` into one command right now....

I agree that we should allow for `http` redirect URLs. We can print a warning maybe if we detect it, but I don't see a good reason for forbidding it...

Moving this to first post-2.0 release.

This question comes up quite a bit. We should try to come up with a reasonably solid code example that handles this.

@deoqc Is `>>[save]` a ReQL query? (e.g. `r.table(...).insert(...)`) or does it call Thinky functions directly? If it calls into Thinky, it might not run as part of the `branch` query,...

@deoqc Sorry for my late response. `r.branch` would be the way to do this in ReQL. Note that there's a chance for a race-condition here, since you need to check...

It has been over a year, but this is still something that our users ask about a lot.
