Thank you Stamatis and Walaa!
I believe it's only been possible because of the great community around
Calcite =)

And actually, Walaa was of much help when I was researching the idea.
He talked with me a bit on the Coral slack and pointed me towards some good
resources + shared experiences.

Coral is one of the projects I took inspiration from, along with
Dremio/Trino cited in the readme.

On this topic -- could it make sense to form a Calcite "Special Interest
Group" for GraphQL-on-Calcite, open to whoever is interested?
It could be good to share ideas and try to prevent doing the same
work/making mistakes that others have already learned from.

For instance, I have designed the GraphQL layer I am building to be
customizable/extendable via "Conventions"
A "Convention" allows you to configure the naming of the API operators and
to register which operations you support.

This way, I can call my operations IE "_and", "_or", but someone else may
want to call them "AND" and "OR"
Or perhaps someone wants to support other binary operators/special
operators that aren't part of the most common ones. Then they can extend
the base operators and add their own.
