The resolve-result hierarchy was split between ICSharpCode.Decompiler.Semantics
and ICSharpCode.Decompiler.CSharp.Resolver, so consumers had to know which half
a given result came from and import both namespaces. All subclasses now live
next to their base class; MethodListWithDeclaringType follows the method group
it describes, and ILVariableResolveResult gets its own file instead of sitting
among the syntax-tree annotation helpers.

ScopedRefAttribute only records explicit syntax. Effective lifetime also
depends on UnscopedRefAttribute, params collections, out parameters, and
the defining module's RefSafetyRules version. Model those distinctions in
the type system without changing decompiler output.

Tuple element names and nullability are not part of a type's identity, so an
interface resolved through one of its members carries neither. Naming an
explicit implementation from that type produced `void I<(int, int)>.M()` on a
type declared as `I<(int A, int B)>`, which the C# compiler rejects outright
with CS0540 - the decompiled source did not build. The nullable case was
already recorded as a TODO in the NullableRefTypes fixture, where the mismatch
costs a CS8643 warning rather than an error.
The implementing type's base-type list is the only place those annotations are
recorded, so the qualifier is looked up there. Three call sites derived it
independently - the AST builder for all five member kinds, the ambience used
for tooltips and tree labels, and the forwarders synthesized for MethodImpls -
so they now share one helper rather than repeating the rule twice more.
Matching while ignoring tuple names and nullability cannot be ambiguous:
implementing two interfaces that differ only in those is itself an error
(CS8140, CS8645).

The .NET 10 BCL ships static [Extension] classes that contain ordinary
nested types (e.g. XDocumentExtensions.XDocumentNavigable). Decompiling
such a nested type's member in isolation resolved the enclosing
container's ExtensionInfo, and DecompileBody then dereferenced the
missing extension-member mapping. A container without any extension
blocks now reports no ExtensionInfo at all, and ResolveExtensionInfo
applies a container's info only to members that actually belong to one
of its extension blocks.

IdStringMemberReference was its only implementation and left with the
ID string grammar parser; unlike the NRefactory-era type system, IMember
does not extend IMemberReference here, so nothing in the library
produces or consumes it anymore.

C# cannot declare a named property with parameters: only the type's
default member gets indexer syntax, and reusing it via [IndexerName]
collapses for types with several differently-named indexed properties,
static properties, or explicit interface implementations. Emitting the
accessors as ordinary methods is the only fully general compilable
form, matches how C# consumes such properties (Roslyn exposes the
accessors of properties it cannot bind as regular methods, the same
pattern C# 14 made user-facing for extension-member disambiguation),
and round-trips call sites to identical IL. Call sites already lower
to direct accessor calls.
The property-level attributes are kept on the first accessor under the
'property:' attribute target: it is not valid on methods, so csc emits
nothing for it (CS0657 warning) and recompilation neither loses the
attributes from the source nor misapplies them to the accessor. A
comment on the first accessor documents the deliberate deviation.
Visual Studio's metadata-as-source view drops such properties'
attributes entirely.
The assembly tree and tooltips are unaffected: they keep rendering the
property node with its parameter list. Known limitation, inherent to
any C# projection: recompiling the output produces plain methods, so
VB.NET consumers of the recompiled assembly lose property syntax.

Dynamic member accesses and invocations carried only the member name
(DynamicMemberResolveResult / DynamicInvocationResolveResult), so
GetSymbol returned null and the editor emitted no reference or hover.
Synthesize a member on the target type - a dynamic field for a member
access, a dynamic-returning method for a member invocation - named after
the accessed member and typed from the callsite delegate: each argument
uses its recorded compile-time type when the binder set one (statically
typed or constant arguments), dynamic otherwise, and the declaring type
comes from the receiver's argument info. Route these through GetSymbol;
TextTokenWriter and the hover renderer already turn an IEntity into a
tooltip. The synthesized members have no metadata token, so they render
a signature on hover but are not navigation targets.

We now avoid the old `IModuleReference` interface which required allocating for every type being resolved.
Instead `MetadataModule.ResolveModule` now combines decoding+resolving assembly references into a single step.
This allows the type system to maintain a cache indexed by row number.
This also changes the behavior of resolving references within a compilation: We now prefer an exact match (name + version + publickeytoken) first; and fall back to a name-only match only if no exact match exists.
This somewhat improves the decompilation of assemblies created by using ilmerge to combine assemblies with different target frameworks.
While support for multi-module assemblies isn't fully working yet; it is clear at this point that we want
to treat each module in a multi-module assembly separately for the purposes of the type system.
This is a work-in-progress; ILSpy is not functional with this commit.
The old code path still exists but is broken because some classes were modified for the new system.
The new system is still highly incomplete (types only have fields, but no methods).
