Templates for `struct`, `enum`, `record`

[vlada-shubina]

Right now it’s possible to use a file template to create a class or an interface, but there are no templates for (at least) the following:

• struct
• enum
• record
  It would be nice to have templates for these, too, so I don’t need to create a class and change the keyword.

Would the struct template override Equals(object) and GetHashCode()? Perhaps implement IEquatable<T> as well.

Hi @KalleOlaviNiemitalo,

Thank you for your suggestions, but we try to keep templates as simple as possible.
The requested functionality won't be added in the foreseeable future.

@YuliiaKovalova, I was thinking about CA1815: Override equals and operator equals on value types; the generated code should preferably be free of warnings. Was a template added for C# 10 record struct, which would cover the equality scenario?

Hi @KalleOlaviNiemitalo ,

Thank you for the reference.
We discuss this topic with the team and I will return to you later.
