As a Zeebe Java user, I want to complete a Job with a single variable

[ingorichtsmeier]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a programmer writing Zeebe Job Handlers, I want to complete a job returning only a single variable value.

The newCompleteCommand offers only a parameter .variables() where I have to wrap the value in a Map beforehand.

This is overhead.

Describe the solution you'd like
client.newCompleteCommand(job).variable("name", value)...

Describe alternatives you've considered
Promote the Java feature with Map.of("name", value) giving examples in the docs and Zeebe examples.

Older programmers, that learned Java with versions older than 8 are not aware of this shortcut.

Additional context
It came up in a migration Workshop with a customer.

Acdording to [javadoc.io]https://javadoc.io/doc/io.camunda/zeebe-client-java/1.2.1/index-all.html
My Suggesstion
befor
jobClient.newCompleteCommand(job.getKey()).variables(variables);
after
System.out.println(job.getElementId()); // returns element Id (or) null
Map variables = job.getVariablesAsMap(); // Get variables
jobClient.newCompleteCommand(job.getKey()).variables((Map.of("newVariable","VariableFromClient"));

@korthout thanks for the mention. I don't see it as a priority at the moment - changing priority level to Later.
