Description

Summary

We codegen spec files for Native*.ts native module specs. These generated files provide type checking for c++ native modules. We should generate something for C# modules too.

Motivation

C++/C# alignment

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing code generation for Native*.ts spec files and the generated files that provide type checking for C++ native modules. Determine the corresponding C# output needed for C#/C++ alignment; done means C# modules receive comparable generated type-checking support.
