Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
It would be nice to have a way to import certain types / standard structs via an interface, if the struct name is known.
(and assign that to some variable)

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Sometimes structs are not there, like for example some windows structs that might be used for malware that resolves APIs from hashes.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
I can just maintain my own header to import with a lot of standard structs inside.
