The System.Memory NuGet package is also compatible with full .Net but on full .Net the IsByRefLike property on System.Type is not available, thus making usage of Span<T> hard in full .Net
Can we add an extension method for full .Net or is there a workaround?

The workaround is to check for presence of IsByRefLikeAttribute. The first class support for byref-like types is present in .NET Core only.
