LINQ: Fixes array.Contains() for .NET 10 MemoryExtensions

Fixes #5518

In .NET 10, array.Contains(x) may resolve to MemoryExtensions.Contains(ReadOnlySpan<T>, T) instead of Enumerable.Contains. Since ReadOnlySpan<T> doesn't implement IEnumerable, the existing check in BuiltinFunctionVisitor fails with NotSupportedException.

Issue	#5518
Area	LINQ
SDK Version (reported)	3.x with .NET 10 Preview
Severity	P2

Root Cause Analysis

Code Path

BuiltinFunctionVisitor.cs:108 - VisitMethodCall()
  → Checks declaringType.IsEnumerable()
    → ReadOnlySpan<T> returns false (doesn't implement IEnumerable)
      → Falls through to NotSupportedException

Root Cause

In .NET 10, the C# compiler resolves array.Contains(item) to MemoryExtensions.Contains<T>(ReadOnlySpan<T>, T) instead of Enumerable.Contains<T>(IEnumerable<T>, T).

The LINQ translator checks declaringType.IsEnumerable() to route extension methods, but ReadOnlySpan<T> (the first parameter type of MemoryExtensions.Contains) doesn't implement IEnumerable<T>, causing the method to be unrecognized.

This is a forward compatibility issue - existing code works in .NET 8/9 but fails in .NET 10+ previews.

Changes Made

Files Modified

File	Change
BuiltinFunctionVisitor.cs	Added IsMemoryExtensionsMethod() helper and routing logic
LinqMemoryExtensionsTests.cs	Added comprehensive tests for MemoryExtensions detection

Code Changes

1. Added IsMemoryExtensionsMethod() helper - Detects when method is from System.MemoryExtensions by checking DeclaringType.FullName
2. Added routing for MemoryExtensions.Contains - Routes to ArrayBuiltinFunctions which already handles both 1-arg and 2-arg Contains signatures
3. Added 6 unit tests - Validate MemoryExtensions detection and ensure Enumerable.Contains is unaffected

---

Generated Output (Before/After)

Before (incorrect):

NotSupportedException: Method 'Contains' is not supported.

After (correct):

SELECT VALUE root FROM root WHERE ARRAY_CONTAINS(@items, root["Name"])

Breaking Changes

None - This is an additive fix that enables previously unsupported scenarios.

All good!

@kirankumarkolli Minh had a pr open to address this:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-cosmos-dotnet-v3/pull/5477/changes

He ran into some issues, since for testing it needed projects to be upgraded to .NET 9 - partly why it's not merged.
That change also seems broader than just array.Contains. Can we reconcile the two prs?

Hi @kirankumarkolli — this PR has been idle for ~36 days. What's the current ETA / status? Flagging as part of an open-PR cleanup pass; if it's no longer being pursued we can close it. No auto-close — just looking for a status update.
