Incorrect summary

[glenn-slayden]

The summary for this item says "Provides a safe handle that represents a memory-mapped file for sequential access." [error emphasized]

This is incorrect, this SafeFileHandle type is used for the MemoryMappedFile handle itself, not one of the MemoryMappedView types that it spawns. Only the latter are described as either "random access" (MemoryMappedViewAccessor) versus "sequential access" (MemoryMappedViewStream).

The MemoryMappedFile itself is agnostic on this distinction and not itself committed to "sequential access" as the summary states.

Thanks for your feedback @glenn-slayden. @maryamariyan, @Anipik can you review this issue? Should we just remove the bold part from the summary? Thanks!

IMHO, removing the three words highlighted in bold above "for sequential access" would solve the problem.
