>             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.
