Description

Visual Studio Project files are very complicated and it's difficult to support every feature of those. Due to that I use premake for generating .net projects I struggle more and more over the point that such a functionality would / could solve most of my problems and or ease the situation.

Do you think it's fine to add an option to premake which applies only to Visual Studio projects?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating Premake's Visual Studio project generation code and existing project-file customization options. Clarify whether snippets target generated files, project files, or both, then define the option's supported scope and acceptance criteria before implementation.
