Remarks

This attribute serves as a marker for the source generator to identify which interfaces are metadata views and to generate the appropriate implementation classes for them. Because this attribute is marked with Conditional("NEVER"), applications of it are omitted from compiled metadata and therefore do not affect runtime metadata-view resolution.
