Returns a map of the descendants of a piece of Content. Content can have multiple types of descendants - for example a Page can have descendants that are also Pages, but it can also have Comments and Attachments.
The ContentType(s) of the descendants returned is specified by the expand query parameter in the request - this parameter can include expands for multiple descendant types. If no types are included in the expand parameter, the map returned will just list the descendant types that are available to be expanded for the Content referenced by the id path parameter.
Currently the only supported descendants are comment descendants of non-comment Content.
