Generate all members in namespace from nativemethods.txt

[AArnott]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to easily generate everything within a "namespace" from the metadata, whether it by structs, methods, or interfaces.

Describe the solution you'd like

When a namespace is named in the .txt input file, generate all members of it:

CreateFile
windows.win32.ai.machinelearning.directml

Describe alternatives you've considered

A special ns:System.IO.* syntax:

CreateFile
User32.*
ns:windows.win32.ai.machinelearning.directml.*

Agreed. This would make things much easier for me. What would make it even better is being able to copy the namespaces from the win32metadata file verbatim into the output C# code, instead of just flattening everything into Windows.Win32 or whatever namespace the user specified. While I might run into name-collision errors in my code if I use two different namespaces both containing a PInvoke (or NativeMethods, or whatever) class, this problem would be easy to fix by adding e.g. using RibbonNativeMethods = Windows.Win32.UI.Ribbon.NativeMethods to the affected files.

Thanks for your thoughts, @wjk. In fact our latest version (in our CI feed) already generates types into namespaces.
