Research direction

Start with the IWriter API and compare the metadata-authoring functionality available at the libCZI level and in pylibCZIrw. Review the related discussion in issue #19 before defining the scope. Done should mean that the .NET API provides documented support for constructing XML metadata when writing CZI files.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current API (IWriter) does not offer any help for constructing the XML-metadata.

Describe the solution you'd like
Functionality similar to what is available at libCZI-level or in pylibCZIrw.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Constructing the XML is hard, foremost because of the lack of documentation.
