IPAddress and Uri parsing are heavily relying on raw pointers making code extremely difficult to validate we never go out of bounds. I wonder what is the performance impact if we convert them all to Span.. Obviously, in most cases it will lead to redundant bounds checks that JIT is unlikely to remove due to complex loop shapes, implicit/IPA assumptions, etc..
