For C# 8, we should link to the .NET Core 3.1 version of the APIs. We should also remove the locale:

The following types, including the members listed, shall be defined in a conforming standard library. (These types might be defined in a future edition of ISO/IEC 23271.) It is expected that many of these types will have more members available than are listed.
The following types, including the members listed, shall be defined in a conforming standard library. These types are not defined in ISO/IEC 23271:2012, but might be defined in a future edition of that specification. Until that occurs, the definitions of those types can be obtained from the .NET API Documentation. It is expected that many of these types as defined there will have more members available than are required by a conforming C# implementaion.

A conforming implementation may provide `Task.GetAwaiter()` and `Task<TResult>.GetAwaiter()` as extension methods.
