src-cli doesn't accept numeric arguments

Running the following command:

echo 'query DependencyReferences($repoPath: String!, $commitID: String!, $filePath: String!, $mode: String!, $line: Int!, $character: Int!) {
	repository(uri: $repoPath) {
	  commit(rev: $commitID) {
		file(path: $filePath) {
		  dependencyReferences(Language: $mode, Line: $line, Character: $character) {
			repoData {
			  repos {
				id
				uri
				lastIndexedRevOrLatest {
				  oid
				}
			  }
			  repoIds
			}
		  }
		}
	  }
	}
  }
  ' | src api 'repoPath=github.com/gorilla/mux' 'commitID=cb4698366aa625048f3b815af6a0dea8aef9280a' 'mode=go' 'filePath=mux.go' 'line=23' 'char=5'

Returns:

{
  "data": {
    "repository": {
      "commit": {
        "file": {}
      }
    }
  },
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "could not unmarshal \"23\" (string) into int32: incompatible type"
    }
  ]
}

Is there a way to specify types for args?

(not urgent, just noticed this while working on https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/11753)

I agree this looks like an oversight/bug and should be possible.

One immediate workaround is to use the -vars flag to pass JSON variables. e.g.

echo ... | src api -vars '{"repoPath":"github.com/gorilla/mux", "commitID":"cb4698366aa625048f3b815af6a0dea8aef9280a", "mode":"go", "filePath":"mux.go", "line": 23, "char": 5}'

Nice, missed that option!
