Documentation for `Enumerable.ToDictionary` refers to inapplicable concept of "groups"

[antonburger-alcove]

Type of issue

Other (describe below)

Description

The docs for a couple of overloads of ToDictionary state:

The values within each group are in the same order as in source.

The concept of "group" doesn't apply to this operation, and that sentence looks like it might be left over after copying the docs for ToLookup.

It also suggests there's some kind of guarantee about the order of items in the resulting Dictionary<K, V>, when that type makes no ordering guarantees.
