Featured questions API

Question

Can we get an API to get the list of featured questions (/questions/featured)?

Update: /questions/featured was added as an API route.

Doh! It's actually mentioned in the questions documentation. :-/ Though, it does seem strange to use the sort parameter for filtering. Also, it makes it impossible to get the list of featured questions sorted by another criteria (expiration date or bounty size for example - both important considerations for the bounty hunters).

@Franci, yeah, agree for that wording, you could convince them to rename it with some explanations. :-)

@Franci, bounty questions are not too many, so grep them all and process them in client would be ok IMHO, (not sure about there is seperate parameters or not though)
