I have documented the RWZ file format (PidTagRulesStreamW) - this could be a good addition to MFCMAPI

Description
I've reverse engineered the file format in a Swift project, found at https://github.com/hughbe/OutlookRulesReader.
I've also written a specification here: https://github.com/hughbe/OutlookRulesReader/blob/master/docs/RWZ%20Format.pdf
Would you be interested in an implementation? I would be happy to help implement this as I no doubt would learn a lot more about the file format!

Research direction
Start with the linked RWZ Format.pdf specification and the OutlookRulesReader Swift project, which documents the PidTagRulesStreamW format. Done would mean implementing support for this format in MFCMAPI, but the issue names no MFCMAPI files or tests and does not define the implementation scope.
