Summary
Instead of ignoring setters entirely, this PR changes API Extractor to generate documentation for a setter if and only if there is no associated getter. If there is an associated getter, the setter is ignored. Note that API Extractor still has the
ae-missing-getterwarning for teams that want to discourage setters without getters.In the future, perhaps an
isWriteonlybit can be added to these nodes, similar to #3265.Details
