What about findAnyRequest - do we want to support ignoredBodyFields there?

We do, although I can see now that the code is a little bit confusing:
we actually modify the savedRequest during the build phase, in buildRequest, so no matter what matching method we use, it will run on the modified request.
Btw. @kozak the name savedRequest is very misleading (to me, at least) -- my intuition is that the saved request is the one that we have in the cassette file, while here it's more of currentRequest or something like that. WDYT?

Ok makes sense. I agree that the names are confusing - currentRequest might be better :)

What do we want to do if the body doesn't have the expected shape? Should probably be a better error than fromJust :)
So this is perhaps not the most elegant way of doing that (i.e. the bodies are decoded to a HashMap, the ignored fields are removed and they are decoded back to a bytestring) but it's one that I could do in finite time 😏
A thing to consider for the future is the ability to ignore nested fields. Also, this PR uses
fromJustin a few places, I'll think of an elegant way of replacing it with something safer.
