Which makes me thing, if I'm not mistaken, there's no REST endpoint to
gather the list of a DataStore's **native** feature types. Like if you
wanted to create a rich client app using strictly the REST API, how would
you list the store's available feature types?

with that in mind:
GET ../<workspace>/stores/<store>/nativeFeatureTypes would give you a list
of raw type in the store
GET ../<workspace>/stores/<store>/nativeFeatureTypes/<nativeTypeName> its
raw FeatureType
DELETE ../<workspace>/stores/<store>/nativeFeatureTypes/<nativeTypeName>
would drop the native FT. Possibly failing if it's in use, or cascade
deleting published feature types for that native type (table)

opinions?
