Why not just use sizeof(Half) inline where needed?

Compiler complains that it doesn't have a predefined size, so would have to mark as unsafe. Presumably because it's a new type?

Why WriteHalf vs WriteSingleCore and WriteDoubleCore?

The Write[Float]Core methods implement serialization for the particular precision without doing conformance mode checks and potential downsizing. WriteHalf doesn't need downsizing since it's the smallest type. Perhaps calling it something like WriteSingleNoDownsizing might reduce confusion?

#nullabledirectives which are no longer required.The implementation also adds a reader and writer method for System.Half which are currently marked internal. I will follow up with an API proposal for these.
