Example: Suggesting a Feature

Suppose you want to suggest a new feature, such as support for nullable reference types. You can create a new issue on the Vogen repository, providing a detailed description of the proposed feature.

For example:

// Proposed feature: Support for nullable reference types.
//
// Current behavior:
// Vogen does not support nullable reference types.
//
// Proposed solution:

//
// Benefits:
// This would allow developers to write more robust and reliable code.
//
