Feature Request: expose individual properties from toODataString to allow for integration with OpenAPI etc

Currently toODataString constructs the entire query string used to make a request. When API endpoints are automatically generated (using swagger/OpenAPI for example), this makes toODataString less helpful. I would like a function that exposes the individual properties generated by toODataString

For example, toODataString currently produces something like

'$skip=0&$top=20&$orderby=quantity&$filter=date ge 2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z'

I'd like something like toODataObject that produces something like

{$skip: 0, $top: 20, $orderby: 'quantity', $filter: 'date ge 2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z'}

so that I could pass individual properties as parameters to generated API functions.

Thanks.
