What do you think about calling this 'SystemResourceConsideration' instead
of HighResourceUsageScenario? It takes 'SystemResource' types which make sense
to me and this isn't just about 'high usage' it is also about helping provide
the developer a way to articulate these concerns to a user. We get questions
all the time about 'Can you compress large objects' - and the answer is yes
because it is done in a streaming/small buffer fashion regardless of whether
something is 10KB or 10GB.
