Send query templates to the client, so we can pre-validate

[deontologician]

This would be really nice. Obviously, validators can't be done this way since they require knowledge of the data in the database, but the query templates could be used to provide client validation.

A couple of questions:

1. Would we want to hide certain query templates from this feature?
2. Should we do this, maybe it doesn't help anyone enough to be worth the trouble

This sounds like it might not be worth the trouble to me. It doesn't improve the error messages at all, and it's only a performance gain if queries that don't match templates are common, which they shouldn't be because they should be failing basically 100% of the time during development. The additional complexity will also make it more likely that we'll do something incorrectly when people change their templates live.

I'm not sure about query templates. Can you share me the concept?
