The best I’ve seen in this regard of discovering hidden things is the Visual Studio C# auto suggestions which refractors your code to use modern language features. It’s quite magical, sometimes doing non-trivial refactors.
I find it a great way to get exposed to the ongoing evolution of C# without actively polling the language spec.
