Description
Having a lazy object that lets you build a query and then only request from the API the things you need is a nice idea, but it's currently not fleshed out enough to be useful, and it's not clear that the Connect API currently supports enough server-side filtering to make this worthwhile. At some point we should either make a push to do this for real, or we should just delete it.

Research direction
Start by locating tbl_connect and reviewing how its lazy query-building behavior interacts with requests to the Connect API. Investigate whether the API supports enough server-side filtering to make the design useful; done means reaching a clear decision and either completing the feature or removing it.
