Research direction

Start with the Swift generator configuration and the templates that produce generated models. Check how generated Swift classes are declared and how configuration flags are defined, then verify that the resulting classes can interoperate with Objective-C. Done means the behavior is configurable and covered by an appropriate generator test.
