GraphQL

WORK IN PROGRESS.

This is just syntax for now - it doesn't work or anything.

I would love to get feedback on this already before I continue with implementing the other details.

A general question about such language extensions is whether they should be part of the core language syntax or ppx syntax extensions. Is there something in the proposed extension that would make it tedious to describe them as a ppx extension. Wondering if you had any thoughts on this?

@kayceesrk I share your concerns, and I'm not sure if this is the right idea. So far I'm leaning more towards staying close to the actual GraphQL query syntax (but still giving us the freedom to improve where possible).

PPX is definitely an interesting option though:

let%query example = {
  hero: {
    name: string
  },
  droid: {
    name: string
  }
};

Although I'm not sure how we would add support for fragments here.
