Description

Let me preamble with: I am perfectly happy to PR a proposed change if I get a green light :).

I'm looking at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.taskscheduler.unobservedtaskexception?view=net-5.0

I think this doc is losing a lot of clarity because it's talking about .Net classic and .Net core at the same time -- It appears as if the Application.config XML can be used with .Net core, and the ThrowOnUnobservedTaskException property isn't even available in .Net Core's runtime. Basically, I would propose we talk about similarities in a clearly delineated section ("As of .Net 4.5, both .Net classic and .Net core have the same behavior by default...") and then have a separate section discussing things that are specific to .Net 4.5 -- where we talk about the config and the historical aspect for "Pre-.Net 4.0".
