Description
Hi there,
the GitHub API supports the concept of closingIssuesReferences (see https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/objects#pullrequest) which is the way to link an issue to be closed automatically when a PR fixes it.
Is it possible to implement it in the PyGithub library as well?
