Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's PDB parsing work and how MFC type libraries are currently handled. Identify which members of the MFC family remain unresolved, then verify that they are resolved consistently with the already-fixed PDB cases. The issue does not name specific files or tests, so the relevant entry points must be located first.
