Could we support friendlier object-literal syntax for service methods?

[githorse]

In grpc-js, at least according to the GRPC.io docs, I can do things like this:

client.sayGoodNight({name: 'Gracie'}, ... );

But with the Typescript version that doesn't seem to be possible; instead, I need to create a HelloRequest object explicitly and set the name:

const request = new GoodNightRequest()
request.setName('Gracie')
client.sayGoodNight(request, ... )

Personally I'm irked by both the mutable state and the boilerplate of the setter syntax and strongly prefer the object-literal {name: 'Gracie'} version. (For me that's most of the fun of writing Javascript!) Does, or could, this library support that streamlined syntax? I see that GoodNightRequest.AsObject in good_night_pb.d.ts actually does define the necessary interface, but it doesn't look like sayGoodNight will accept anything but an instance of the GoodNightRequest class.
