Description
[IDR](https://www.aldeid.com/wiki/IDR-Interactive-Delphi-Reconstructor) ([sources](https://github.com/crypto2011/IDR/blob/master/KnowledgeBase.h)) databases could contain useful type information, which we could use. If they do, create a tool that extracts this information into a JSON file that could be parsed with `ctypesparser` tool (use `ctypes` type representation).

Research direction
Start by reading the linked IDR sources, especially KnowledgeBase.h, and inspect the existing ctypesparser tool to understand its ctypes type representation. Determine whether IDR databases contain usable type information, then define the extraction tool's JSON output and verify that ctypesparser can parse it.
