results without couch 'metadata'
Hi is there a way to get couch results without the extra metadata? Perhaps
instead of 'include_docs' where you get:
{"total_rows":1498,"offset":350,"rows":[{"id":"1","key":"1","doc":{"_id":"1","_rev":"1","important":"stuff"}}]}
a 'docs_only' or something option that would return something like
{[{"important","stuff"}]}

yes you can return JSON.stringify({"foo":5})

Ok, but do I have to regen JSON manually in this casem since the _list
function is designed to spit out arbitrary formats ?

And of course, it didn't occur to me to mention that there was already
an even more general solution already in place...

You can use a _list or _show function for this.

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing, but if it was to be added, I
think it would be better to add something a little more general, such
as "just_field" so you could do something like
?just_field=id/key/doc/value to get a list of all the
ids/keys/docs/values, respectively.
I don't like the name "just_field", that's just the first thing that
came to mind, but I could see such a feature being useful.
There'd be no need to wrap an extra doc around it, it could just be a
json array returned, and it wouldn't make sense to strip out the _id
and _rev, so with your example, you'd end up with the following being
returned:
[
{"_id":"1","_rev":"1","important":"stuff"}
]
