This property lets you access a specific element in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[key] (myCollection(key) in Visual Basic).

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.
