Except and Intersect overloads that take delegates

Useful when you have one sequence, and you want to get the except/intersect 
from another sequence based on a specific projection (like DistinctBy)

Additional overloads added where the two sequences have different types added - 
since the Func doesn't really care if they're the same or not and therefore you 
can just check equality inside.

Sample usage:
var toRemove = existingResults.Except(newResults, (x, y) => x.EntityId == 
y.EntityId && x.EntityType == y.EntityType);

Code: 
 public static IEnumerable<TSource> Except<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> first, IEnumerable<TSource> second, Func<TSource, TSource, bool> comparer)
        {
            return first.Where(x => second.Count(y => comparer(x, y)) == 0);
        }

        public static IEnumerable<TSource> Intersect<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> first, IEnumerable<TSource> second, Func<TSource, TSource, bool> comparer)
        {
            return first.Where(x => second.Count(y => comparer(x, y)) == 1);
        }

        public static IEnumerable<TFirstSource> Except<TFirstSource, TSecondSource>(this IEnumerable<TFirstSource> first, IEnumerable<TSecondSource> second, Func<TFirstSource, TSecondSource, bool> comparer)
        {
            return first.Where(x => second.Count(y => comparer(x, y)) == 0);
        }

        public static IEnumerable<TFirstSource> Intersect<TFirstSource, TSecondSource>(this IEnumerable<TFirstSource> first, IEnumerable<TSecondSource> second, Func<TFirstSource, TSecondSource, bool> comparer)
        {
            return first.Where(x => second.Count(y => comparer(x, y)) == 1);
        }
