+BREAKING: Don't pass `shouldPersistHeaders` anymore when invoking the fetcher function. This value can be looked up by consuming the `EditorContext`:

+import { useEditorContext } from '@graphiql/react';
+
+function MyComponent() {
+  const { shouldPersistHeaders } = useEditorContext();
+  // Do things...
+}
