Allow primitive values in where clauses

[tyteen4a03]

I've seen a few people do queries like this:

query Posts($title: String!) {
  Posts(where: { title: $title }) {
    totalDocs
  }
}

where they expect title to accept primitive values and getting errors (because it doesn't).

Is there a way in GraphQL for these sort of queries to accept either a where object (so like how we do it currently) or a primitive value (in which case it will default to an equals check)?

This also applies to the Local API (I don't use the REST API often I don't know if this is an issue over there)

Good idea, Mongoose for instance supports such shortcuts too:

I would love to see RegEx support for texts. We use this a lot in other projects.
