Summary

This PR adds the equivalent rule mapping between CA1507 and MA0043 to the comparison documentation.

Changes

  • Added CA1507 (Use nameof in place of string) to the equivalent rules table
  • Maps to MA0043 (Use nameof operator in ArgumentException)

Analysis

Both rules serve the same purpose: detecting hardcoded string literals that could be replaced with the nameof operator for better maintainability and compile-time safety.

CA1507 has broader coverage than MA0043:

  • MA0043 focuses specifically on ArgumentException scenarios
  • CA1507 detects nameof opportunities in any method parameter named paramName or property named propertyName
  • CA1507 includes ArgumentException cases as part of its broader scope

Recommendation

Since CA1507 covers all functionality of MA0043 and more, teams should use the official Microsoft analyzer rule CA1507 instead of MA0043.

Closes #847
