Research direction
Start at the System.Threading.Interlocked API entry point and review the existing Read overloads alongside the proposed generic signature. Determine the supported type and atomicity requirements, then document whether the API proposal is acceptable and what tests would demonstrate the behavior shown in the usage example.

Description
Background and motivation
In additional to #64658 & #65184 should we consider introduce an API for Interlocked.Read<T>(ref T field)
API Proposal
namespace System.Threading;
public static class Interlocked
{
+ public static T Read<T>(ref T location);
}
API Usage
var progress = 1;
Task.Run(() =>
{
while(true)
{
var value = Interlocked.Read(ref progress);
Console.WriteLine(value);
if (value >= 100)
break;
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
});
Parallel.For(1, 100, (i, _) =>
{
// ...
Thread.Sleep(i * 30);
Interlocked.Increment(ref progress);
});
Console.WriteLine("done");
Console.ReadLine();
