What's DynamicTypeFactory used for?

It brings Microsoft.CodeAnalysis libs to the release folder, but seems not used anywhere?

I'm asking this because Microsoft.CodeAnalysis and Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp take a great part of size of our app

It’s used to parse C# strings:

Radzen.Blazor/ExpressionParser.cs

          using Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp;
          using Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Syntax;
          using System;
          using System.Linq;
          using System.Linq.Expressions;
          using System.Reflection;
          using System.Reflection.Emit;
          
          namespace Radzen;
          
          static class DynamicTypeFactory
          {
              public static Type CreateType(string typeName, string[] propertyNames, Type[] propertyTypes)
              {
                  if (propertyNames.Length != propertyTypes.Length)
                  {
                      throw new ArgumentException("Property names and types count mismatch.");
                  }
          
                  var assemblyName = new AssemblyName("DynamicTypesAssembly");
                  var assemblyBuilder = AssemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicAssembly(assemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run);

Just to let you know that Radzen.Blazor 7.0 was just released without dependency to Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.
