Pull request overview
This PR updates the Slice and Ice dictionary decoding APIs to require concrete dictionary types (IDictionary<TKey, TValue>) rather than generic key/value pair collections, aligning the decoder contract with Slice dictionary semantics (no duplicate keys) and simplifying insertion logic.
Changes:
- Tighten
DecodeDictionary/DecodeDictionaryWithOptionalValueTypegeneric constraints fromICollection<KeyValuePair<...>>toIDictionary<...>. - Switch decoder insertion from
Add(KeyValuePair<...>)toAdd(key, value)for both Slice and Ice decoders. - Remove generator tests and Slice definitions that relied on
List<KeyValuePair<...>>as a dictionary mapping target.
