SA1642: Validation incorrect for classes with generic parametes

[gps7]

Hi,
This case seems to be very similar to Case #415, but relates to dynamic parameters. For example StyleCop classic still finds this violation but not the analyzer. The violation of wrong type name XXX not picked up:

	public class AuthorizationPolicy<TIDENT>
	{
		/// <summary>
		/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="AuthorizationPolicy{XXX}"/> class.
		/// </summary>
		public AuthorizationPolicy()
		{
			Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
		}

According to the C# compiler, there is no difference between AuthorizationPolicy{TIDENT}, AuthorizationPolicy{T}, and AuthorizationPolicy{XXX}. All of them reference the same generic type AuthorizationPolicy<TIDENT>.

Right, the compiler will not tell, since this is a documentation mismatch with declared name. Like I said Classic StyleCop picks up this as violation.

I think this would make the most sense as a new rule, as opposed to updating existing rules to start checking this. FWIW I would be in favor of the rule. Even if it's not accepted for StyleCop Analyzers, I would accept it for DocumentationAnalyzers.
