Remarks

No allocation is performed unless both the handle argument and the value argument contain non-ASCII text.

Obtain instances using StringComparer. A default-initialized instance is useless and behaves as a null reference.

The code is optimized so that there is no additional overhead in re-obtaining a comparer over assigning it to a local. That is to say that a construct like:

if (reader.StringComparer.Equals(typeDef.Namespace, "System") && reader.StringComparer.Equals(typeDef.Name, "Object")
{
    /* found System.Object */
}

is no less efficient than:

var comparer = reader.StringComparer;
if (comparer.Equals(typeDef.Namespace, "System") && comparer.Equals(typeDef.Name, "Object") 
{ 
    /* found System.Object */
}

The choice between them is therefore one of style and not performance.
