Description
Consider this interface in the metadata:
[Windows.Win32.Interop.Guid(2722677164u, 50840, 19974, 158, 92, 213, 127, 119, 199, 230, 71)]
[SupportedOSPlatform("windows5.1.2600")]
public interface IInkCursors : IDispatch
{
[SpecialName]
unsafe HRESULT get_Count([Out] int* Count);
[SpecialName]
unsafe HRESULT get__NewEnum([Out] IUnknown* _NewEnum);
unsafe HRESULT Item([In] int Index, [Out] IInkCursor* Cursor);
}
Ideally, the Item method would be recognized and be exposed as an indexer rather than a method.
Consider getter/setter/both cases.

Research direction

Identify the relevant generator entry point and tests, then verify that getter-only, setter-only, and getter/setter Item methods are exposed as indexers rather than ordinary methods.
