 2. Read the C# release notes for changes to unions.
 3. Run the compiler contract tests first. They are the ones that notice changes in union behavior.

-In generic code use `Match`: C# does not allow `maybe is T value` when `T` is a type parameter.
+Pattern matching works in generic code too: `maybe is T value` reads the value when `T` is a type parameter.
