Description
### Type of issue
Code doesn't work
### Description
The [.NET CoreWindowsIdentity documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.principal.windowsidentity?view=net-8.0) has various places that link to the [.NET Framework WindowsImpersonationContext class](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.principal.windowsimpersonationcontext?view=netframework-4.8.1&viewFallbackFrom=net-8.0) that does not exist in .NET Core, and the example code is copied verbatim from the [.NET Framework version of WindowsIdentity's doc](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.principal.windowsidentity?view=netframework-4.8.1), which would not work or even compile, since it references an `Impersonate()` method, which as far as I can tell is only in the .NET Framework version of `WindowsIdentity`, not in the [.NET Core version of it](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/7c8d89cc8efa5dbe38b49caaeb39abbb0eee9746/src/libraries/System.Security.Principal.Windows/src/System/Security/Principal/WindowsIdentity.cs#L365).
