Subject: [PATCH] Given a repository `$repoOwner`/`$repoName`, find the id of
 an issue by its `$number`.

Usually users think of "issue #10", but most GitHub GraphQL mutations refer to issues by their id, so you'll find this query quite helpful! For example, you'll need the issue id if you want to [Delete a GitHub issue](GitHubDeleteIssue).


To find the id of issue #3 on the [OneGraph GraphQL Docs Repository](https://github.com/OneGraph/graphql-docs/issues/1), we could pass in the following variables:

  ```javascript
  {
    "repoName": "graphql-docs",
    "repoOwner": "OneGraph",
    "number": 3
  }
  ```
