LINQ in .NET 10: LeftJoin and RightJoin replacing the GroupJoin and DefaultIfEmpty pattern, the deferred Shuffle, Sequence and InfiniteSequence built on generic math, System.Linq.AsyncEnumerable in the BCL and the CS0121 clash with the System.Linq.Async package; a short look at FullJoin coming in .NET 11.
