Wonder if the SourceGenerator engine could be moved out process and have it either self-contained (aka net6) or choose like a `TargetSourceGenFramework> net6`
So far the set of api is restricted to ns2.0 due to that runner being limited

the price to pay is a bit more than we could expect

    Is there a specific API you are longing for in your Source Generator usage? Given where/how source generators execute the .NET standard 'base' is a choice we made right now. I think ideally here having VS being able to host/run .NET6 apps is what will ultimately help here and enable the scenario you are talking about. But tell me more and maybe we can identify a clever current way.

      let's imagine i'm parsing file like CSV or XML to generate typed model using span and all associated goodness to have new zero allocation while parsing the file i understand there's other way but that's just an example there probably douze other idea using api for netcore/net5+ i'm just asking to let the user choose his own "SG SDK" so a sort of it own "isolated build" outside of IDE constraints
