Roslyn Analyzer Deltas for VS2017 RC3

One of my favorite features in VS2015 is the Roslyn based live static code analyzers   Interactive IDE feedback on my code gives me  'opportunities for improvement' to my code.  Think FxCop++ without having to build your project.  I like to say "in your face" developer education.  See "bad things" and fix them before some other developer makes fun of you!   For those not familiar with Roslyn Analyzers I will suggest you view Falafel's blog post on the topic at https://blog.falafel.com/live-code-analysis-day-20-visual-studio-2015/ .  He gives a great overview with examples of the toolset inside VS2015.

Well now VS2017 RC3 is out on the wire.  I setup an Azure VM and install VS2017R3 into it.  Futzing around, I noticed working with VS2017RC3 that there were a number of new analyzers.  I attempted to find a comprehensive list of analyzers added to or removed from the stock set that VS ships with.  Unable to find a list of deltas, I manually perused the "all rules" list, and noted the following changes below.  I share them with you for reference.
