Updated SourceGenerationHelper to use global::System.MemoryExtensions.AsSpan for string comparisons, enhancing performance and consistency. Removed conditional compilation directives for .NET Core versions, streamlining the codebase. Added a package reference to System.Memory version 4.6.3 in the project file. Updated multiple test files in the EnumGeneratorTests namespace to align with the new implementation, ensuring valid and efficient tests. Overall, these changes simplify string handling in enum generation and validation.

Closes #152

…t have ReadOnlySpan<char> support.

tl;dr; this is the breaking change that I don't want to introduce 😄

What if it's only for the targets that benefit from that? Chances are users are already using that.

I just personally don't really want the complexity🤷‍♂️ You don't get ReadOnlySpan<T> support in the built-in Enum.ToString() etc for NetStandard, and it breaks for people who are currently using the library in .NET Standard and aren't using NetStandard. Also means you can no longer use it in SourceGenerators for example (because adding those packages is a world of pain)

I get in all the good places.

Right now, I'm copying the generated code when I need .NET Standard 2.0 support.

You can keep it as is for now and later introduce static extension methods to support implicit conversions to and from string and ReadOnlySpan<char> when targeting the .NET 10 SDK. That said, we should bear in mind that .NET 8 will remain supported for nearly 18 more months.

I really don't follow? 😅 Definitely don't want implicit conversions from enums to string, that's not what you mean, right? And yeah, if you don't have the .NET 10 SDK then you just don't get the extension member versions. Not sure what that has to do with this PR though? 😅

Not from and to an enum to string. From and to string and ReadOnlySpan<char> for .NET Standard 2.0. And that would be a file scoped extension.
