Generate WebAPI Types

Hey Scott, I've got a feature suggestion/request.

This tooling is awesome for generating types, but one thing I've noticed that its missing is the ability for it to generate an Interface for WebAPI Types.

As you likely know, when you go to retrieve records with the WebAPI, some of the attribute names you get back are slightly different. To give an example lookups have the format of _xxx_,myattribute_value... and each record gets an @odata.etag appended.

Also when you to to make updates, you have to use the capital sensitive xxx_myAttribute@odata.bind attribute.

So would it be possible to get the ability to generate API Types added in? I`m thinking it would mainly just be a variant of the IEntity Interface Types that are already being generated, but it would generate two entries for the Lookups. One for the API Retrieval Format, and one for the Create/Update format.
