✅ [CodeGen] Determining Assignability of Types

Hi Guys!

Over the past days I dipped my feet a bit in code generation with the goal of writing a proxy generator that receives a "Proxy Template" (Class) from the target assembly and a "Target Class" that should be proxied.
I quickly realized that the proxy template should support at least two different methods, which the generator must use to build the proxy, namely because the difference of

Task

Task

and

Task<T>

Task<T>

return types.
I.e. I need one proxy template method that roughly looks like:

[ProxyMethodTemplate]
public async Task<T> InvokeAsync<T>() {
  var result = await proxyTarget.InvokeAsync<T>();
  return result
}

[ProxyMethodTemplate]
public async Task<T> InvokeAsync<T>() {
  var result = await proxyTarget.InvokeAsync<T>();
  return result
}

and another that handles

Task

Task

because the return statement is invalid when awaiting:

[ProxyMethodTemplte]
public async Task Invoke() {
  await proxyTarget.InvokeAsync();
  // no return
}

[ProxyMethodTemplte]
public async Task Invoke() {
  await proxyTarget.InvokeAsync();
  // no return
}

With this as a starting point, I already needed a way to figure out in the code generator which of the proxy template methods should be used to wrap any given function of the target class/class to proxy.
