 * Note: In the 2.0 and 2.1 releases of Commons Collections, this class would
 * throw a {@link ClassCastException} if either of the arguments to
 * {@link #compare(Object, Object) compare} were <code>null</code>, not
 * {@link Comparable Comparable}, or for which
 * {@link Comparable#compareTo(Object) compareTo} gave inconsistent results.
 * This is no longer the case. See {@link #compare(Object, Object) compare} for
 * details.

 * @param <E> the type of objects compared by this comparator
