Describe the feature

RPC calls such aseth_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex & eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex should not need to fetch the whole block (with all transactions), just to get the one.

sorry @KoxyG, it's something bit of an exotic usecase and in internal discussions we decided not to proceed with it.
