| In this preview, projects that declare unions need the compiler support types available to the compilation: | ||
|
|
||
| ```csharp | ||
| namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices; | ||
|
|
||
| [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple = false)] | ||
| public sealed class UnionAttribute : Attribute { } | ||
|
|
||
| public interface IUnion | ||
| { | ||
| object? Value { get; } | ||
| } | ||
| ``` |

I had a notification that these types are now in the .NET 11 Preview 5 libraries, and projects no longer need to provide polyfills. Can you confirm or correct?
Related: Is System.Runtime.CompilerServices the correct namespace after API review (for both UnionAttribute and IUnion).

| In this preview, projects that define closed classes also need the compiler support attribute available to the compilation: | ||
|
|
||
| ```csharp | ||
| namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices; | ||
|
|
||
| [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)] | ||
| public sealed class ClosedAttribute : Attribute { } | ||
| ``` |

My understanding is that this hasn't gone through API review yet, so this polyfill is necessary. Can you confirm?
This is the first preview where we're talking about unsafe evolution. Talk about the feature, and then add only the changes in preview 5.
