Feature Request

It would be great if BatchRequest supports getPastEvents ( eth_getLogs ), so that it would reduce calls for fetching events which would fulfill getting event logs from public nodes with rate limits.

Use Cases

Many public nodes have rate limits as well as limits for block length for a single eth_getLogs call ( 5K block for BSC https://docs.bnbchain.org/docs/rpc ). Without batch requests, it would take a lot of time to fetch historic contract logs due to those limits applied ).

Implementation Ideas

Support web3.eth.Contract().getPastEvents to call for eth_getLogs, I don't think 4.x branch doesn't support this feature as well ( Although it is technically possible & already available for ethers.js )

Feature Examples/References

No response

Are you willing to implement this feature? No. ( This would create incompatibility for type definitions for either BatchRequest or getPastEvents )
