Paul Benedict commented on LANG-667:
------------------------------------
This feature sounds like a bad idea because it goes against the contract of
Comparable. From the javadocs:
"e.compareTo(null) should throw a NullPointerException even though
e.equals(null) returns false."
There is explicitly no such thing as a null-safe compare() in Java.
