Allow to query for arbitrary patterns (starting slowly):

syntactic
- all vertices of types X (e.g., all comments, all uses)
- syntactic structures (all X nested in Y, ast-grep like)
semantic
- all variables
- all function calls doing Y (as an extension of call-context queries)
- ...

What do you say @Ellpeck @allaboutmeme @SunVal @LukasPietzschmann? What would be your use-cases?
