GraphQL doesn't really like this - it wants everything to be in the schema. But Datasette and SQLite both support columns with arbitrary JSON in them, and it's a bit inconvenient that those come back from a GraphQL query looking like this:
Graphene has a solution for this: https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/issues/384
from graphene.types import generic ... field generic.GenericScalar()
Question is: how do we know which columns this should be applied to? Probably needs plugin configuration.
