Research direction

Start by reading proposal 0010 at https://hlsl-tc57.github.io/tc57/proposal/0010/ and then locate the compiler entry points for HLSL keyword handling and type-expression semantics. The work is done when decltype follows the proposal's specified behavior and the relevant compiler validation passes.
