Please describe the feature requested.

Take a look at this snippet of sample code from plus-cmdline-sample:

    Plus.Activities.List listActivities = plus.activities().list("me", "public");
    // Pro tip: Use partial responses to improve response time considerably
listActivities.setFields("nextPageToken,items(id,url,object/content)");
    ActivityFeed feed = listActivities.execute();

Now, you may wonder why the setFields is on its own line.  That's because 
setFields is declared in PlusRequest, not Plus.Activities.List, so it returns a 
type of PlusRequest.  Therefore, you cannot call execute() on it.

Instead, I'd expect Plus.Activities.List to override setFields and return the 
type Plus.Activities.List (itself).  Then, I'd be able to do:

    Plus.Activities.List listActivities = plus.activities().list("me", "public")
        .setFields("nextPageToken,items(id,url,object/content)")
        .execute();
