Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, users writing custom templates can only apply the templates supported by the built-in generator. If a generator doesn't support something like service interfaces or model test classes, the user can't specify these in their custom templates.
Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, an extension to a configuration file to allow extending for a specific generator:
{
…
"modelTemplate": {
"merge": false,
"files": [
{ "template": "model.mustache", "extension": ".m"},
{ "template": "model_license.mustache", "extension": ".license"}
],
"apiTemplate": {
"merge": false,
"files": [
{ "template": "api.mustache", "extension": ".a"},
{ "template": "api_interface.mustache", "extension": ".ai"},
{ "template": "api_license.mustache", "extension": ".license"}
]
}
…
}
This doesn't address some things like output structures which would be required by generators.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how custom generator configuration selects modelTemplate and apiTemplate files, then review #690 for related context. Done means supporting multiple configured templates per generator while accounting for the output-structure limitations noted in the request.
