The manual unboxing we were doing was not an ECMA approved use of the instruction. As such it could potentially fail in the future should the runtime decide to break the way we were using it.
One way to fix this would be to set each of the fields individually on the unboxed ref as the current two types we're optimizing are mutable. I've instead used
StrongBox<T>
. While significantly more complicated, it will not run afoul of the ECMA spec should we get an immutable type we want to handle.If performance here ever ends up being a problem we could go the other way.
Fixes #12933
