-    Some of the VSSDK packages may pull in Microsoft.VisualStudio.SDK.EmbedInteropTypes which essentially
-    does the below but for all of the listed references. We can't just use what they have since they include
-    things like EnvDTE which is reasonable for consumers, but strange since we actually _implement_ DTE and
-    use it as an exchange type with generics in a few places. Instead, we run directly after the target declared
-    in the EmbedInteropTypes package and ensure only the dependencies we need are embedded and the others are
-    skipped.
