Of course, you can also declare additional query parameters whenever you need, additional to any body parameters.

As, by default, singular values are interpreted as query parameters, you don't have to explicitly add a `Query`, you can just do:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = None
```

Or in Python 3.10 and above:

```Python
q: str | None = None
```

For example:

=== "Python 3.10+"

        return uuid.UUID

    @property
    def __dict__(self):
        """Spoof a missing __dict__ by raising TypeError, this is how
        asyncpg.pgroto.pgproto.UUID behaves"""
        raise TypeError("vars() argument must have __dict__ attribute")

* Processing data:
    * For example, let's say you receive a file that must go through a slow process, you can return a response of "Accepted" (HTTP 202) and process it in the background.
