Per @rauchg's suggestion, this option should be explicit:
<Link prefetchProps={true} />
Adding the ability to prefetch props has some seriously cool implications, the most obvious being that it essentially sounds the death knell for loading indicators.

Hi! We just blogged about a way of doing this by adding a caching layer and calling getInitialProps when prefetching a page.
@gmaliandi lets add it to the readme under FAQ 馃槃
Brilliant!
And today we published this in NPM: data-prefetch-link!
Going to close this issue. Core support is not needed thanks to @gmaliandi's brilliant work 馃憤
