}

Implementations can vary in how they determine the equality of objects: for example, the class that implements IReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue> might use the Comparer<T>::Default property, or it might implement the IComparer<T> method.

Implementations can vary in whether they allow key to be null.
