Make Application.[Begin,End]ModalMessageLoop() public instead of internal

I must admit that I've been using these two methods, via reflection, for ... a very, very, very long time (15 years?). Paint.NET relies on them in order to create...

Not all of them necessarily, but just (some of) what I would need to access from a classic Win32 app. In particular, I'm looking at the following class right now:...

This is an old library (built-in to Windows) that I'm still using for printing and scanning. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/wiaaut/-wiaaut-refentry I'm currently using an old generated COM / .NET interop DLL for this...

`ID2D1SvgElement` has a bunch of overloads for `SetAttributeValue()` that are from inline methods in the header file, but it looks like they all got concatenated together into the doc comment...

Request for DWM_SYSTEMBACKDROP_TYPE enum

This is now documented, and will enable use of Mica/Acrylic in Win32 apps: https://twitter.com/WithinRafael/status/1532127929810886656 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/ne-dwmapi-dwm_systembackdrop_type

Doc comments include large sample code blocks

Is this intentional / desired? Might be hard to prune out though... although maybe just find a line of text saying "Examples" and snip from there?

VariantInit() and friends are missing

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/oleauto/nf-oleauto-variantinit I just started my first conversion from a C++/CLI wrapper to a C# one, and immediately bumped into things like `VariantInit()` being missing. Also, `VARIANT.vt` and `PROPVARIANT.vt` should be...

I think this is a header-only lib, so it would need to be implemented manually? I'm not currently using these from managed code, but would still be useful for converting...

Consider adding strongly-typed Vtbl property to COM interface structs (if trimmable)

3

In implementing my wrapper for `IDWriteTextLayout`, there are 12 methods that are easily made generic, which relies on passing in a function pointer from the vtbl. These are 6 getters...

Consider extending `.Interface` pattern to things other than COM interfaces

For example, ```cs public struct OSVERSIONINFOW : OSVERSIONINFOW.Interface { public interface Interface { ... } ... } public struct OSVERSIONINFOEXW : OSVERSIONINFOEXW.Interface { public interface Interface : OSVERSIONINFOW.Interface { ......
