Research direction

Start by locating the settings API and the generation path for struct definitions and regress converters. Compare the proposed with_regress_converters and without_regress_converters options with the struct-only alternative, then check how generated output and dependency declarations are tested. Done means the dependency on regress is optional and the selected generation mode is covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Settings should include either a with_regress_converters or a without_regress_converters setter so that a dependency on regress is not guaranteed.

Perhaps a smaller version of this could be configuring the tool to generate struct definitions alone, without any converters.
