Deprecate GraphQLInputObjectField using newInputObjectField builder

[tkvw]

Is it intentional that I can't deprecate an GraphQLInputObjectField using newInputObjectField builder?

I suspect (but dont know) that is was deliberate in the original graphql.

The spec mentions objects and objects fields as being something that can have deprecation.

Perhaps they felt that input objects cant as easily be deprecated since its more a "required" input.

If you look at http://facebook.github.io/graphql/#sec-The-__Field-Type and contrast it to http://facebook.github.io/graphql/#sec-The-__InputValue-Type you will notice one allows deprecation and one does not.

So even introspection says that its not a thing

That said I can't see a spec statement forbidding deprecation on input fields so one could make an argument it can be allowed.

More color can be found here : graphql/graphql-spec#197 and here graphql/graphql-spec#235

this is an issue of the general spec, not this library: see last comment
