GraphQL is so stupid about collections of objects. If you want uniform pagination for different types of objects you have to write separate types for each.
I don't like how it composes things together. Kindof awkward when the subportions of the query need variables. Nested objects are great to form the query to just what one needs but then extra steps to decompose into what you'll actually have client-side.
