pass parameters to @cypher directives

[jexp]

e.g.

users(id: ID, name: String, first: Int = 10, offset: Int = 0): [User] @cypher(statement:"MATCH (u:User:StackOverflow) RETURN u LIMIT $first+$offset SKIP $offset")

results in

WITH apoc.cypher.runFirstColumn("MATCH (u:User:StackOverflow) RETURN u LIMIT $first+$offset SKIP $offset", {}, True) AS x UNWIND x AS user
    RETURN user { .name ,questions: [(user)-[:POSTED]->(user_questions:Question{}) | user_questions { .title }][..3] } AS user SKIP 0 LIMIT 10
{ first: 10, offset: 0 }

As an additioanl requirement, it would be powerful to be able to use these parameters to modify the underlying cypher, not just as parameters passed to the cypher e.g. to modify the depth of recursion allowed when traversing relationships

Is there any solution or hack for this?

We were explicitly excluding first, offset, and orderBy parameters from being passed to the Cypher query as these were handled elsewhere, but I can see the value in having these available in the Cypher statement used in the directive.
