Documenation of GeneratedRegexAttribute does not mention it can be applied to properties as well

[Gerfatz]

Type of issue

Outdated article

Description

The linked article does never mention that the GeneratedRegexAttribute can also be applied to get-only properties. Originally, it could only be applied to methods, but that was changed in .NET 9-preview 6 link to commit. The online documentation of the attribute itself also does not contain the updated remark, that it can be applied to get-only properties as well. It however shows the correct signature with System.AttributeTargets.Property
