/**
 * Query a service wth PQL options.
 *
 * If a client's method matches that of a usual query statement,
 * using this function will infer the query object.
 *
 * @deprecated Use {@link function:getByStatement}
 *
 * @example
 * ```
 * query(client, 'getLineItemsByStatementAsync', {
 *   where: {
 *     id: 123
 *   }
 * })
 * ```
 * Is syntactical sugar for:
 * ```
 * client.getLineItemsByStatementAsync({
 *   filterStatement: {
 *     query: pql<LineItems>({
 *       where: {
 *         id: 123
 *       }
 *     })
 *   }
 * })
 * ```
