Description
It would be nice to have methods analagous to the dictionaries TryGet on all collection types to allow adding, removing and finding for example branches that do not throw exceptions/return null.
I would be happy to add these as eitehr extension methods or methods on the respective collections if they would be wanted.

Research direction
Start by identifying all collection types in the library and reviewing their existing add, remove, and lookup operations. Define the non-throwing behavior for each operation, including whether failures return null or another result, and confirm that every collection has a consistent API before implementing it.
