------------------------------------------

             Summary: Make CollectionUtils (in particular isEqualCollection) 
null-safe
                 Key: COLLECTIONS-600
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-600
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Collection
    Affects Versions: 4.1
            Reporter: Jonas Holtkamp
            Priority: Minor


Other Commons {{*Utils}} classes as StringUtils etc. feature null-safe methods. 
Why doesn't for example {{CollectionUtils#isEqualCollection}} include a null 
check, like this?

{code}    public static boolean isEqualCollection(final Collection<?> a, final 
Collection<?> b) {
        if(a == null || b == null) {
            return false;
        }
        if(a.size() != b.size()) {
            return false;
        }
        final CardinalityHelper<Object> helper = new 
CardinalityHelper<Object>(a, b);
        if(helper.cardinalityA.size() != helper.cardinalityB.size()) {
            return false;
        }
        for( final Object obj : helper.cardinalityA.keySet()) {
            if(helper.freqA(obj) != helper.freqB(obj)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
{code}

I considered filing a Pull Request but wanted to ask here first.
