I am interested in the migration for forge bind . Would be curious to learn more about what all is needed for it.

~~Forge bind will be deprecated and removed once this migration is done. Bindings generation is no longer needed or possible with the abigen! replacement, sol!, as you can either maintain a Solidity interface or a JSON ABI in tree and point the macro to that directly.~~

forge bind now supports --alloy

Marking as complete as Foundry has fully migrated to Alloy :100:

Leftover code that aided in the transition, like https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/issues/7048, will be cleaned up in standalone tickets or whenever we encounter it.
