Research direction

Start by comparing the unstable endpoint at spec.matrix.org/.../get_matrixclientv3useruseridfilterfilterid with the older client_server/r0.6.1 endpoint linked in the issue. Check whether path and query parameter examples are missing elsewhere in the new spec, then restore the relevant examples; the work is done when the affected endpoints again show representative requests.
