Name "__name__" must not begin with "__", which is reserved by GraphQL introspection.exit status 1

What happened?

I added a field __name__ in my schema.graphqls file:

type Person {
__name__: String
age: Int
}

I ran go generate to generate the corresponding model and got this error:

failed to load schema: internal/pkg/graph/schema.graphqls:21: Name "__name__" must not begin with "__", 
which is reserved by GraphQL introspection.exit status 1

The response from upstream service has the __name__ field.

What did you expect?

I expect to be able to use the __name__ field in the schema. If there is some way around this, that can be helpful too.

Minimal graphql.schema and models to reproduce

type Person {
__name__: String
age: Int
}
