Description

Currently we only support self-contained applications to be trimmed. Allowing framework-dependent applications could be possible but would require some new functionality:
* Some optimizations assume global-view (type hierarchy marking, interface marking, ...)
* Ability to correctly handle ref assemblies
* New command line options to communicate the intent

This would obviously also require non-trivial changes on the SDK side.
