What are .NET Platform Extensions on docs.microsoft.com?
There is a framework-level navigation element at Microsoft Docs called ".NET Platform Extensions". It contains docs on recently added APIs like System.IO.Pipelines and System.Threading.Channels for example, as well as a whole bunch of other APIs, including the not-so-recent ones.
Some APIs from this collection are available as nuget packages (for both .Net Core and .Net Framework), but others are not seemingly available. Also, as of now, there is no nuget package called ".NET Platform Extensions" or anything similar.
So, the question is what exactly does this collection of APIs represent? What is it's relationship to each of the following:
- .Net Framework
- .Net Core
- .Net Standard
What about support in the .Net Framework / .Net Core?
Finally, some APIs seem to be already available as separate nuget packages, others are yet to be made available, so what is the story in that regard?

As .NET - Introducing the Windows Compatibility Pack for .NET Core puts it, the "Platform Extensions" are for APIs which aren't part of a platform (Core or Standard) but are available via Nuget. You wouldn't expect a single all-encompassing Nuget package for this.

does this mean that if I use the extension pack e.g DirectorySearcher API I will the possibility to use the same code on a Linux container while running .NET core 2.2. Thanks
