Description

We should add support for type system types in the field type attribute, and referencing actual functions in field onchange event and customization handlers and interface function

<component >
    <interface>
        <field id="state" type="mynamespace.enums.State" onchange="someNamespace.someCallback" />
        <function name="someNamespace.someFunction" />
    </interface>
    <customization suspendhandler="someNamespace.someFunction" />
    <customization resumehandler="someNamespace.someFunction" />
</component>

Start by locating the type-system handling for field type attributes and the parsing or resolution of onchange, customization handlers, and interface functions; done means the XML examples accept advanced types and function references with appropriate validation.
