Remarks
Empty value lists, such as new lists returned using this indexer when the key is not found, are not part of the dictionary until items are added to them. When the value list becomes empty again, it is removed from the dictionary. Value lists stay synchronized with their dictionary to always reflect the values associated with their key inside the dictionary.
