Description

@RickStrahl is asking for guidance on creating add-ins: https://twitter.com/RickStrahl/status/1551342858774319104. We don't have a doc on that, AFAIK.

I believe the scenario is this:

- Addins can have any dependency.
- Dependencies that are already provided by the app should be knocked out.

We don't have a good way of doing this today. That's what https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/71282 is hoping to enable. The question is whether we have any facility for this today. It sounds like #30341 delivers at least part of that.
