Need "linked files"-like replacement for project.json

[GrabYourPitchforks]

Currently .csproj and other msbuild-based project types allow you to link source files that are included in a separate directory. The common scenario for this is that you have a separate src/Common/ folder filled with half a dozen or so .cs files, and individual projects link only the files that are applicable to them. So Project Foo might link A.cs and C.cs, Project Bar might link A.cs and D.cs, and Project Baz might link A.cs and B.cs and D.cs.

We need an equivalent of this in the K build system so that we don't duplicate shared source files among projects.

We already have this. Take a look at the wiki or the EntityFramework or KRuntime itself. It shows how you can so this with either a shared project or linked file equivalent

Thanks for the reference! To other readers, this is the "code" key in project.json. EF for instance uses:

{
  "code": "**\\*.cs;..\\Shared\\*.cs"
}
