Sure, but that is non-standard, so it would be swimming against the current to
use it, and no one else would write code that way.
Still, the reason for my comment was to ask we consider a first-class args type
which would enable being able to pass parameters like `{foo: 1, bar: 2}`
instead of `new QueryArgs(foo: 1, bar: 2)`, not to discuss autoloaders.
