Override type generation about mtt

[Psvensso]

I started to look at this but i can't get my fork to run on my machine.
The build can't access Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp even though it's clearly there and everything is restore properly. (I'm on a win 10 machine with VS2017 pro).

I might have a look later in the week.

But please respond if guys this this is even a viable feature req.

I understand the need but currently any kind of type annotation is not feasible because the code is not compiled.

I've been considering compiling the c# to use reflection so if I do then this could be added.

That was an experimental build that accidently got pushed to main. MTT doesn't actually use code analysis so I removed the references, you should now be able to restore and build the project.

I'd also love this.

It's more of a preferential thing but I'd prefer that my Guid's come down as string in TS.

Like I said it's a personal bias so being able to override that would be a nice to have.

I played around with this idea back when the issue was created and it seemed like the best approach would be using type annotations. However the code is not compiled so those annotations would have to be parsed somehow, without losing what field is supposed to be overridden and what its supposed to be overridden with. It seemed like it could get messy so I never bothered, but someone is more than welcome to add this in a PR and I would approve if it doesn't break anything.
