Description
Description
It would be nice if ros2 pkg create would also have --message and --service in addition to --node-name and --library-name.
Motivation
It would be great if pkg create could generate a properly configured package with messages and services.
Design / Implementation Considerations
When --message or --service is used, package type has to be ament_cmake.

Research direction
Start at the ros2 pkg create command and trace how the existing --node-name and --library-name options generate package contents. Inspect the package-generation path and ament_cmake handling first. Done means --message and --service generate a properly configured package, with package type constrained to ament_cmake.
