Remarks
For nested types, this means using +, e.g. to get Environment.SpecialFolder, use System.Environment+SpecialFolder.
For generic type definitions, this requires using </code>, e.g. to get <code>List<T></code>, use <code>System.Collections.Generic.List1
Constructed generic types (e.g. List<int>) are not supported, for those, use WithTypeArguments(INamedType, params IType[]).
