   The response of a `PUT $db/$docid` or `POST $db` is not really a document, it's a just a json grouping of fields.
   
   The convention is used in the [_bulk_get](https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/database/bulk-api.html#db-bulk-get) endpoint as well: since we're not sending document bodies we use `id` and `rev` as is, without the `_` prefix.
   
   We can argue that it might have been better to use `_id` and `_rev` always but it seems a small enough difference that it's not worth breaking backward compatibility over.
