enable type casting

One of the very common transformations I need (except from the ones that this library already enables) is casting a value into a Date. Would it be possible to add a function for that like:

movie {
  title
  releaseDate @_(as: "Date")
}

I will try to find some time on this weekend to release alpha version. So you could test it by implementing toDate.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense totally convinced that this is not a good idea to include it for the reasons you mention. Don’t overload the library with too much functionality, that can lead to confusion.

I think allowing custom extensions would hit the sweet spot, as it keeps the library clean and surface area for bugs small and gives developers the freedom to extend it with what they need.
