Directive to support pluralizing names

[saihaj]

Today in subgraph schema definition if you use word like metadata as an entity name it will not generate a plural for the query that can return a list of items is not generated. This is potentially because there is no plural for that word that can be generated.

It would be nice if @entity directive could support taking an argument to which we can give a name for what to name plural type.

@entity(plural: String)

Looks like this issue has been open for 6 months with no activity. Is it still relevant? If not, please remember to close it.

Bumping this one. Very relevant to fix! Just torched ~90 mins on this one.

Probably will take a look myself later on as this issue doesn't look like it got any attention.

@lutter @saihaj is this indeed what is happening? What is the underlying logic?

Since I am deep into that code, I am changing it so that if an entity type has a name whose plural is identical we add _collection to the name; for example, if you have entity type Stats, we would then have stats for single-entity queries and stats_collection for the collection. (I was very tempted to make that stats_but_plural but that might not be the best UX 😉)
