Feature Spec

I want to be able to add a macro to a getter/setter method.

/**
 * Returns the number of elements in the map.
 * 
 * @macro Object.keys($self$).length
 */
public get size(): number {
  throw new Error("Macro");
}

Use Cases

Solves issue where we have to use normal methods like size() rather than simply invoke size on plain java objects. As done in this PR: https://github.com/winglang/wing/pull/1653/files#diff-02245bbbc2eb597dd86d8484abff67768e1e36b6af074525abb3fa3c1113ef32

Once this is implemented we should fix the Map API back to size rather than size() which I changed as part of: https://github.com/winglang/wing/pull/1653

I think we should actually keep it uniform across our container types, so it should be .len.
