The current API documentation does not describe the loading algorithm or troubleshooting etc since it is a complex subject, and because it is different between .NET Framework and .NET 5+ (core).

Instead, most of this type of documentation is described in the "execution model" - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/dependency-loading/loading-managed, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/dependency-loading/collect-details and other links in that area.

Perhaps the source LoadFrom etc doc should link to the "execution model" docs?

@BillWagner does this seem like something the doc team would want to address?
