Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the C# debugger's expression evaluator resolves types when extern aliases are used. Look at the code that handles type resolution in the debugger EE (Expression Evaluator) for the case of duplicate type names with aliases. Focus on the ALIAS construct and how aliased types are resolved.
