Description

The "container" type roughly maps to structure and bitfield data. We must first determine if capa can emit features from containers without polluting the matches and then handle the nested structure.

Research direction

Start by tracing the dynamic VMRay handling for function call parameters and how existing structure and bitfield data are represented. Use the XML example to investigate nested container values, then define how capa should emit features without polluting matches and verify support for the nested structure.
