## Summary:
We typically name our types `OperationFieldTypeFieldType`, but if a
type's name matches the preceding field-name, we omit the type-name.
In #71 I changed the behavior such that we no longer do that in the case
where the type's name matches some suffix of the name-so-far that's
longer than just the leaf field-name.
This was semi-intentional; I assumed it didn't matter and would be more
predictable this way. But it turns out that was a feature, both in the
sense that almost any change to the type-name-generator is breaking, and
in the sense that it made the names uglier. Plus, now that we have
better conflict-detection (#94), the possibility that some tricksy
type-names could cause problems is no longer as much of an issue, so we
can be a little less careful here. (Although I think this is no less
safe than before; the field-names are the important part.) So in this
commit I revert the change.
Specifically, this comes up a lot at Khan where we do
```
mutation ForcePhantom {
forcePhantom { # type: ForcePhantom
error { ... } # type: ForcePhantomError
}
}
```
Before #71, and again after this change, we'll generate
`ForcePhantomForcePhantomError` for `error`; before we'd generate
`ForcePhantomForcePhantomErrorForcePhantomError`.

## Summary:
genqlient has some code (`imports.go`) dedicated to tracking which
imports we need and avoiding conflicts, as well as converting a
(restricted) Go expression like `map[string]github.com/me/mypkg.MyType`
to an import (`github.com/me/mypkg`) and a type-reference
(`map[string]mypkg.MyType`) to be used in the context of that import,
and at least making some attempt to track conflicts. (Right now the
conflict-avoidance is not very smart, and not very well tested, but it
comes up rarely anyway.) Sadly, that code was a bit cumbersome to use,
because you had to first register the imports (typically from
`convert.go`), then use them (often from the template).
In this commit I refactor the order we write things in order to allow a
significant simplification of how we import; in particular we no longer
have to guess in advance what imports which template will need; it can
just do `{{ref <expr>}}` as before, and it just works. To do this, I:
- changed the importer to have only one API, which adds the import if
needed, and returns the reference either way
- added a check that we don't add imports after they're written
- reorganized the toplevel templates a bit to make sure that check never
fires; we now generate all the types and operations, then write the
imports and glue it all together
This removes a bunch of silly code, and should simplify the process of
adding custom (un)marshalers (#38).
While I was at it, I put the documentation of what expressions we
support in a more visible place, and added a type-assertion that your
custom context type implements context.Context (if applicable).

## Summary:
There's a lot these days! I got most of it from the GitHub docs [1], as
well as looking at other projects. I'll probably hold off on landing
this until a couple more things land, then land this and tag v0.1.0.

## Summary:
In this commit I add two related features to genqlient:
conflict-detection to avoid generating two distinct types with the same
name, and an option to specify the type-name genqlient should use for
some type.
The conflict-detection was pretty simple once I realized I had already
written all the code to do it in #70. There was a bunch of wiring,
since we now need to keep track of the GraphQL type/selection-set that
each type corresponds to, but it was pretty straightforward. This
allows us to:
- detect and reject if you have really sneaky type-names (there are some
examples documented in `names.go`)
- more clearly crash if genqlient accidentally generates two conflicting
types, and
- avoid stack-overflow when handing recursive (input) types (although
sadly the poor support for options on input types (#14) makes them
difficult to use in many cases; you really need to be able to set
`pointer: true`)
And with that all set up, the type-naming was also easy! (It doesn't
have to get into the core of the type-generator, just plug in where we
choose names. The desire for conflict detection was the main reason I
hadn't set it up already.) Note that the existing limitation of #70 that
the fields have to be in exactly the same order remains (and is now
documented as #93); it's not deeply hard to fix but it's surprisingly
much work.

## Summary:
The basic idea here is if you only request interface fields (no
fragments) you may not care about the concrete type, and so we could
just generate a struct as if it were an object. I don't think it's a
good idea to do that by default, because then if you later add a
fragment all your code totally changes, but it's quite reasonable as an
option!
Most of the code involved is just wiring and validation; the
core implementation is literally just: treat it like an object.

## Summary:
In this commit, I add a bunch more documentation of how to use
genqlient, including a getting started guide, and a FAQ that also acts
as a how-to shaped index of common configuration options and extension
points. Much of this is adapted from the internal doc I wrote at Khan,
or reorganized from what was in the README. Speaking of which, now that
there are better places for all the details, I rewrote the README to be
a bit more of an overview and index of other documentation. (For now I
left the "unmaintained" notes, which I'll remove fairly soon once all
our ducks are in a row.)

## Summary:
Dark mode is, they say, the new thing, and the logo doesn't work super
well with it, because it's black on dark grey. This is surprisingly
hard to fix. There are a few options:
- make the logo colored; sorry, but I like black
- add a white border to the logo; this is what Apollo does but I
think it's pretty ugly in dark mode
- add svg with media queries; this works well but only if the github
dark mode setting matches the browser(/OS) dark mode setting, since
that's what the media queries look at
I opted for option 3. This required converting the text in the SVG to
paths, since it really matters that you have the exact same font. (I
tested on Android Firefox, which empirically doesn't have the same fonts
I have on desktop.)
Fixes#17.
Issue: https://github.com/Khan/genqlient/issues/17
## Test plan:
tested that it looks good on both mobile firefox in dark mode, and
desktop firefox+chrome in light mode.

## Summary:
In this commit I reorganize much of our documentation into a new `docs`
directory, where there will hopefully be more room to grow and to
organize things in a user-friendly way. There's almost no net-new
documentation, although of course it's a great time to review it anyway.
In particular:
- I moved the documentation for the `genqlient.yaml` config file into an
example file instead of GoDoc (which now just points to the example
file); I think this will be a lot clearer for casual users.
- I moved the documentation for the `@genqlient` directive out of GoDoc
and into a GraphQL schema file (since while it's a comment it's all
real syntax), likewise, and made the `GenqlientDirective` type private
(since there's now nothing useful to do with it).
- I moved `DESIGN.md` and the logo into `docs/` (just to keep the
toplevel a bit cleaner), and separated the Contributing section of the
README into `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` (which github will automatically
link on various issue and PR pages).
This leaves it so that:
- README.md is the only documentation at the toplevel (and will become
just the high-level introduction as I add more user docs to `docs/`)
- GoDoc is only documentation for if you want to call genqlient
programmatically (which is fairly limited as the API surface is quite
small: it's now just Main, Generate, and Config, plus a constructor, a
single method, and a bunch of fields on the latter)
In future commits, I'll add some more new documentation to the `docs`
directory.
