-  To target netstandard2.0, the below props are required to support some features introduced after netstandard2.0 and

+  To target netstandard2.0, the c# 10 lang version (available in net6.0) must be used to support 'record structs'.
+  This is not recommended for production use, but is used here to demonstrate the use of Primitively on older versions of .NET.
