### Type of issue
Typo
### Description
From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotnet-8/sdk#code-analysis
> Throw helpers are simpler **and more efficient** than an if block constructing a new exception instance.
Having look at https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/5535e31a712343a63f5d7d796cd874e563e5ac14/src/libraries/System.Private.CoreLib/src/System/ArgumentNullException.cs, I see that in order to throw 2 methods are called and no optimization which could be more efficient than simple `if`-then construct.
