Description

Different languages define specific methods on classes per default, e.g. C# defines ToString, GetType and GetHashCode.
When components define methods with these names in one of their classes, this can lead to problems.

Solution:
in the binding (or implementation section) of the component, define overrides for these resreved names or keywords

e.g.
```xml



```

This would basically replace each occurrence of "GetType" in the C#-binding by "GetObjectType".

Research direction

Start by locating the code that processes component binding and implementation sections and generates language-specific names. Review how C# methods such as GetType are currently emitted, then determine how the proposed reserved-name replacement would be represented and applied. Done means a binding can declare a replacement and generated C# occurrences use the replacement without altering other languages.
