A nice DevX improvement would be to allow querying for data in a way akin to this
query {
someEntity(block: {
number: -100
}) {
# fields ...
}
}This query would fetch data at block latest - 100.
The rationale here is that a very common use case is to fetch data at a fixed amount of blocks prior to the tip to avoid data inconsistencies due to chain reorgs (or, in other words, to ensure data finality). AFAIK, right now the only way to do that is to first query the latest indexed block, and then perform the desired query at latest - n, which is cumbersome and repetitive.
