I started a new package for this to experiment with the minimal amount of code needed to support the generated definitions. Based on how this goes we could either integrate the dynamic Send methods directly, or move that into a separate package that could be called on an object Send(obj, "selector:")

Can we schedule a call on Discord to go over this. |

@progrium I guess ideally we'd want macschema to parse out the "Inherits From" info, but for now I could implement a quick hack to parse this info out of the schema on the generator side:
"Declaration": "@interface NSStatusBarButton : NSButton",

looks like its starting to come together! |
Generates cgo code and Go wrappers to call the Objective-C methods. Type information in `api` is generated using `macschema` to fetch and parse from the docs.
`go run ./gen/cmd` generates the `*_objc.gen.go` files containing the cgo code to invoke each Objective-C method, and Go wrappers on top of it.
The generated types are meant to be embedded by the author in a struct to include the generated methods, but allow the author to augment them with additional methods, like:
```
type NSFoo struct { gen_NSFoo }
```

pls remove the 1.15 test and add 1.17 so checks pass as something here is using io/fs |
The generator uses `embed.FS` to include the template file, which is new in Go 1.16.
