Description
Would it be out-of-scope to add similar wrappers for AbstractDictionary and AbstractSet? There is a built-in Base.ImmutableDict, but my understanding is that it's a very particular structure with particular use-cases, not meant to be seamlessly dropped in place of a Dict.
The downside is that it would make the name of this package a bit awkward.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing the existing read-only array wrapper and the uses of Base.ImmutableDict, then determine whether ReadOnlySet and ReadOnlyDict should support AbstractSet and AbstractDictionary interchangeably with mutable collections. Done means agreeing on scope, use cases, and whether the package name remains appropriate.
