Description
What
I suggest to add support for GraphQL subscriptions (example tutorial from Apollo).
Why
To support all three main GraphQL operations: query, mutation, and subscription.
How
- Research what this new feature would imply technically.
- Design and discuss a public API of the library for GraphQL subscriptions.
- Implement, document, and release.
Technical notes
- GraphQL subscriptions are often implemented via WebSockets. There is a WebSockets support feature request open, which may be a pre-requisite for this task.

Research direction
Start by researching GraphQL subscriptions and the open WebSockets support request in #156, since WebSockets may be a prerequisite. Define and discuss the library's public subscription API, then determine the implementation, documentation, and release work needed.
