Random thought: With an "item" in a list of "Things" not being a "Thing"
we still call it a "ThingListItem" 🙄.
Can we rename SnapshotListItem to just Snapshot and GroupListItem to
Group and NamespaceListItem to Namespace?

Need to update the api macro to make the section-config part opt in
(with a deprecation period at first to not break stuff...)

Should this have a `#[serde(rename_all = "lowercase"/"kebab-case")]`?

We go from FooListItem to FooContentItem to mean that a namespace is
included.

NamespacedSnapshot?
SnapshotAndNamespace?
