pkar.DotNetExts 2.2.4

This Nuget contains several extensions to .Net types, that I use in many of my programs. There are two branches:

• v1, for .Net Standard 1.4 (working also in UWP apps for phones)
• v2, for .Net Standard 2.0 (if you can afford dropping support for phones, or if you use trick from https://gist.github.com/WamWooWam/e72e5137606f7c59ed657db6587cd5e8 - checked with 15063, Lumia 532)

If some extension is added in v1.x.y, then it would be present also in v2.x.y (not in e.g. 2.0.0)
