Lambdas and serialization

[Llewellyn Falco]

I just realized this is a mistake!

Comparable will not work properly without the Equals method
being overridden.

Namely, if you have two object a, b you will get
a.compareTo(b) == 0
but
a.equals(b) == false

depending on your implementation this will fail!
