It’s not aspects “like signednes” that’s the only constraint that you could embed in your defined POCO and still use as a select projection that would survive a LINQ expression that was turned into an expression tree. Your data store would enforce the other constraints. Your C style character array as a string wouldn’t work with either LINQ nor any of the standard library.

Are you really trying to go back to the bad old days with Microsoft C/MFC/WIN32/COM where you had over a dozen ways to represent a string that you had to convert to and from depending on which API you were using?
