Expand navigation property on a collection with Client

[cbrianball]

I've looked over documentation and bugs, but I don't see any example of how to do this.

I am looking to generate the following OData query:
/orders?$expand=items($expand=customer)?

With the Expand method that takes a string, it is simple:
orderQuery.Expand("items($expand=customer)");

How is this accomplished with the overload that takes an expression?
orderQuery.Expand(o => o.Items); is the closest I can get. How do I then expand the Customer navigation property on each of the items?

Here's what I have tried that does NOT work.
orderQuery.Expand(o => o.Items.First().Customer);
orderQuery.Expand(o => ((DataServiceQuery<Item>)o.Items).Expand(i => i.Customer));
orderQuery.Expand(o => (o.Items as DataServiceQuery<Item>).Expand(i => i.Customer));

Any help would be appreciated.
