Span-ify your code

.NET has introduced low(er)-level memory management APIs over the years that can dramatically reduce the number of allocations and improve performance, and first among them is Span<T>.

This repo demonstrates common usage patterns for some of those APIs.

[!IMPORTANT] Always benchmark and test the code for correctness, especially when using low-level/unsafe APIs.
