    https://github.com/manuelroemer/Nullable (backport nullable attributes so you can use things like [NotNullWhen]). Alternatively, https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator/ is even niftier, as it gives you .NET 5's annotations as well. So the compiler tells you whether a Dictionary.TryGetValue result is nullable or not based on annotations that didn't exist in .NET Standard 2.0.

    If you need the attributes, reference https://github.com/manuelroemer/Nullable or https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator. The latter is bigger, but retroactively adds nullability annotations to runtime references (such as Dictionary.TryGetValue).

    EDIT: A reader reached me about this cool package that partially solves this problem by injecting nullable reference type annotations in CLR's methods of some assemblies (check the docs for more details): ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator.

    Can't use 6.0 on that solution because https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator/issues/89. But I did try 6.0 on a smaller project, where indeed, the warning seems to only appear if I downgrade to the 5.0.400 SDK. With 6.0.400, I get… a build error instead. With that workaround, it works.
