* Convenience passthrough template tag to get the benefits of tooling for the gql template tag. This does not actually parse the input into a GraphQL DocumentNode like graphql-tag package does. It just returns the string with any variables given interpolated. Can save you a bit of performance and having to install another package.
* Several tools in the Node GraphQL ecosystem are hardcoded to specially treat any template tag named "gql". For example see this prettier issue: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/4360. Using this template tag has no runtime effect beyond variable interpolation.
