Define file generation API

[enikao]

Most modeling systems want to create some artifacts from the model contents, for example source code, documents, or images.
This interface can be standardized to receive some input nodes, maybe some parameters, and result in one or more files.

Would this really be in scope for LionWeb? For a general, complete language-driven solution absolutely, but we focus on the exchange of models, not of the artifacts generated from them (unless they happen to be models: derived model, of course).

I'm not sure. My main trigger was writing the roadmap (#171) and your conclusion from Post-mortem for Más that generators are really important to people -- so we should mention them in some way.

I think we should definitely describe how one would implement such an API, in general - using LionWeb, obviously. I just don't think that we should spend much effort trying to capture all the various choices that exist for this.
