Description
Today we have similar behavior as Windmdexp for authoring components: compile time errors with diagnostics for code not valid for Windows Runtime. We would like to go further and add an analyzer with code fixes that allow the user to fix code that would raise a diagnostic. An example scenario is when users use the generic List type, intellisense offers a codefix to use IList instead.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing authoring diagnostics and the behavior provided by Windmdexp. Then trace the generic List example to determine where an analyzer and code fix would integrate; the work is done when invalid authoring code can produce a diagnostic with an applicable fix, including replacing List with IList where appropriate.
