Remarks

A dictionary whose keys are Type objects. This dictionary behaves almost identically to a standard dictionary, except that the TryGetValue method will find matches on base types and interfaces, e.g. if you add a dictionary entry for IEnumerable, then TryGetValue(typeof(BitArray), out _) will return true.

This class is not thread-safe.

This class is keeps a cache of types you've searched for with TryGetValue so it can respond to repeated queries for the same type more quickly. For example, if you add a dictionary entry for IEnumerable and search for typeof(BitArray), a new cache entry is added for BitArray that holds the value associated with IEnumerable.

Whenever you modify the dictionary, the cache is cleared.
