withAlias adds field name to alias name

[jens-josh]

q.withAlias("alias").field();

produces the graphql:

field_alias: field

I'd expect it to produce

alias: field

See startField()

Don't you mean the alias name would end up being field__alias in your example.
It preserves the original field name so that it can be obtained on the response to parse it with this library, with the assumption that the alias is there so the field can be queried more than once.

[jens-josh]

If that's by design, then maybe we can have a variant of withAlias that generates the alias as requested?

[dylanahsmith]

That would break response parsing, which isn't done with access to the original request.

Do you have an actual use case for being able to avoid the field name prefix?
