Enhanced the "How to define value equality for a class or struct" article to better address modern C# practices and provide clear guidance on implementation approaches.

Key Changes

1. Prominently Position Records as the Preferred Approach

Added a prominent TIP block at the beginning to clearly recommend records first, with conditional guidance for when manual implementation is needed:

2. Added Comprehensive Record Example

Created a new "Record example" section with a complete working demonstration showing:

• Automatic value equality implementation
• Correct inheritance behavior (unlike problematic class scenarios)
• Seamless collection compatibility
• Performance benefits over reflection-based approaches

3. Added Detailed Justifications for Manual Implementation Steps

Each of the 5 implementation steps now includes clear explanations of WHY they're needed:

• Override Equals(object): For polymorphic behavior and object compatibility
• Implement IEquatable: For type-safe, performant comparisons
• Override == and != operators: For consistent syntax expectations
• Override GetHashCode: For hash-based collection compatibility
• Implement IComparable (optional): For sorting operations

4. Improved Documentation Quality

• Simplified record syntax examples
• Moved code comments to documentation text for proper localization
• Applied consistent formatting to numbered lists
• Used TIP block format to highlight the key recommendation

The article now provides a modern, comprehensive guide that prioritizes the recommended approach while still providing complete guidance for manual implementation scenarios.
