Sharpify 1.5.0

CHANGELOG

• BREAKING StringBuffers and AllocatedStringBuffers constructor have been made internal, to enforce usage of the factory methods. The factory methods of both are now under StringBuffer and vary by name to indicate the type you are getting back. StringBuffer.Rent(capacity) will return a StringBuffer which rents memory from the array pool. And StringBuffer.Create(Span{char}) will return an AllocatedStringBuffer which works on pre-allocated buffer. StringBuffer still implements IDisposable so should be used together with a using statement or keyword. Also, the implicit converters should now be prioritized to be inlined by the compiler.
  • It should be noted that in some cases JetBrains Rider marks it an error when the implicit operator to string is used in return statements of a method, this is not an actual error, it compiles and works fine, rather seems as an intellisense failure. If this bothers you, use .Allocate(true) instead, it does the same thing.
• Added newer faster and memory memory efficient concurrent APIs whose entry point is AsyncLocal<IList<T>>, for more information check the updated Parallel section in the repo Wiki.
• Added Dictionary{K,V}.CopyTo((K,V)[], index) extension (as built-in one isn't available without casting.)
• Added RentBufferAndCopyEntries(Dictionary<K,V>) extension method that returns a tuple of the reference to the rented buffer and array segment over the buffer with the correct range, simplifying renting buffers for a copy of the dictionary contents to perform parallel operations on it.
• Added ReturnRentedBuffer(T[]) extension to supplement the entry above, or with any ArrayPool<T>.Shared.Rent call.
