 ### New features:
 
+- The new `graphql.WithOperationNameParam` allows clients to be created that include `operationName` as a query parameter.
 - The new `optional: generic` allows using a generic type to represent optionality. See the [documentation](genqlient.yaml) for details.
 - For schemas with enum values that differ only in casing, it's now possible to disable smart-casing in genqlient.yaml; see the [documentation](genqlient.yaml) for `casing` for details.

+###  … include operationName as a query parameter?
+
+`graphql.NewClient` support the option `graphql.WithOperationNameParam`, which will add `?operationName=...` to the request's query parameters.

+```go
+ctx := context.Background()
+client := graphql.NewClient("https://api.github.com/graphql", http.DefaultClient, graphql.WithOperationNameParam)

+fmt.Println(resp.User.Name, err)

 ### … use an API that requires authentication?
 
 When you call `graphql.NewClient`, pass in an HTTP client that adds whatever authentication headers you need (typically by wrapping the client's `Transport`).  For example:
