# is reserved by the swagger validator as a way to include partial content from a JSON object (eg: "#/path" would include {"test": true} from the object {"path":{"test":true}}). Instead of trying to convince the validator that it is wrong, we'll just use a different character.
Note that our rendering tools do not care about #-style references to objects. It's still somewhat worth changing the character though.
According the the openapi spec, examples for responses and schemas should be
raw objects rather than being json strings. (It's unclear what non-json
examples should look like...).
The swagger UI used to support json strings, but no longer does. In short,
let's turn the json strings into their raw formats.
It's a bit incongruous to have to read through the deprecated /initialSync to
get to the good stuff. Separate out intialSync so that we can move it later in
the spec.
