Question - Does TypeORM provide feature to do atomic increment with int field?

The shorthand of sql:

UPDATE table SET field = field + 1 WHERE id = :id;

Has there an API like

async increment(field:string,step:number=1);

Was implemented in #1845 and is available in latest @next. Example:

       // increment counter of post 1
       await connection
           .getRepository(Post)
           .increment({ id: 1 }, "counter", 1);

        // decrement counter of post 2
        await connection
            .manager
            .decrement(Post, { id: 2 }, "counter", 2);

We’ll need to implement this new feature. But first we need a design proposal on what other methods we also need (like increment, decrement, sum, etc.) - all common operations we’ll need and create a separate type of query builder where those operations will be possible.
