Research direction

Start by reviewing the parser and P/Invoke binding-generation entry points, then trace how macros and declarations are represented and selected. Confirm the expected behavior for marked classes and functions, including unmarked declarations, and identify tests covering parsing or generated bindings. Done means the requested macro-only scope is defined and verified without affecting unrelated declarations.
