Sometimes people create special interfaces for specific types to get those specific get only (or sometimes get & set) that basically forwards database mapped columns to an alias or even other use cases as well.

Goals:

• The generated code would then now define the interfaces for the user inside of MetaData.yml provided in the user's project file.
• That generated code can then optionally be added to the classes defined in MetaData.yml under a new section (Inherits) that will add such interfaces.
• The interfaces do not have to be generated either, for example if one has in their MetaData.yml file for an "Account" one can use the ASP.NET Identity IUser<T> interface as well (where T is the type of the primary key in the database).

Pros:

• People who place said Metadata attributes on database types generated by the source generator would no longer need a dedicated C# code file specifically for that freeing up some of the burden of manually maintaining said code.
• No longer need to manually write any metadata for any future database entries either.
