WIP

• All containers optionally use ArrayPool
• Buffers
  • DirectAllocationArrayPool<T>
    Pretend to have pooling
  • ArrayPoolFactory
    Factory abstraction provides array pool implementation
• Not Sync / Non Concurrent / No Thread Safe
  • Vec<T>
    Reimplemented List<T>, can unsafely retrieve the internal Array or as Span, Memory todo methods same to List<T>
• Sync / Concurrent / Thread safe
  • OnceInit<T>
    Similar to Lazy<T>, but provides init function when getting
    Inspired by rust OnceCell<T>
• Memories
  • Box<T> ReadOnlyBox<T>
    Simply wrap a value onto the heap
  • ArrayRef<T> ReadOnlyArrayRef<T>
    A fat reference (T[] + offset) that can be safely put on the heap, not a ref struct
  • MemoryRef<T> ReadOnlyMemoryRef<T>
    A fat reference (Memory<T> + offset) that can be safely put on the heap, not a ref struct
  • OffsetRef<T> ReadOnlyOffsetRef<T>
    A fat reference (object + offset) that can be safely put on the heap, not a ref struct
  • MemoryEx
    • Provides GetEnumerator for Memory<T> ReadOnlyMemory<T>
• Cryptography
  • AHasher
    A hasher that ensures even distribution of each bit
    If possible use Aes SIMD acceleration (.net7+)
