Summary
I'd like to be able to write a custom winrt_activation_handler handler that recognizes specific types, that works great. But I'd also like to be able to call into the default logic in the case I don't recognize the type, hit an error, etc.

Start by locating the winrt_activation_handler entry point and the existing default cppwinrt activation-handler logic. Define how a custom handler can delegate unrecognized types or errors, then add coverage showing that the default behavior remains available when delegation is requested.
