I'm -0 on this feature: you don't need to be an expert to just write `curl
-O http://...` in your shell to download a JSON for any url.
As for UI, HTML5 provides [download](http://caniuse.com/#feat=download)
attribute. The question that it's not supported by all browsers is a pity, but
_users of those are deserves to suffer_ (: The internet known
[workarounds](http://stackoverflow.com/a/27302979/965635), however.
I don't think that we need such API extension, but I'm fine if it will be.
