+Using 'ReadOnlySpan\<T>' or 'ReadOnlyMemory\<T>' instead of 'Span\<T>' or 'Memory\<T>' for parameters that are not written to can prevent errors, convey intent more clearly, and may improve performance.

 ## [CA1700](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/quality-rules/ca1700): Do not name enum values 'Reserved'
 
 This rule assumes that an enumeration member that has a name that contains "reserved" is not currently used but is a placeholder to be renamed or removed in a future version. Renaming or removing a member is a breaking change.
