Descrizione
The runtime doesn't provide a safe facility for covariant conversion of ReadOnlySpan, but it is supported to perform such conversions. If the compiler performed such conversions, it would enable more optimizations in scenarios like the following:
Span<Derived> span1 = ..., span2 = ...;
ReadOnlySpan<Base> spanBase1 = [..span1]; // emit as conversion to ReadOnlySpan<Base> then 'ToArray()'
ReadOnlySpan<Base> spanBase2 = [..span1, ..span2]; // emit as conversion then 'CopyTo()' the backing collection of 'spanBase2'
To start with, we are only going to perform ToArray and CopyTo optimizations in the case where the spread operator and the target collection have the same element type.
