It's probably near impossible to automate, because the Core's REST API isn't
programmatically discoverable.

As a counter-example, Launchpad's REST API provides a WADL[1] description
extracted from the code, but this makes it way too heavyweight for my tastes.
And because the Core uses a dynamic object-based traversal system (inherited
from restish and ported to falcon) it would make any kind of static REST API
description pretty difficult to generate.
