   * <p><b>Warning:</b> by definition, this comparator is not <i>consistent with equals</i> (as
   * defined {@linkplain Comparator here}). Avoid its use in APIs, such as {@link
   * TreeSet#TreeSet(Comparator)}, where such consistency is expected.
   *
   * <p>The returned comparator is serializable.

   * <p><b>Java 8+ users:</b> Use the lambda expression {@code (a, b) -> 0} instead (in certain

 * instance should be created every time the method is called.
 *
 * <p>For example, the subclass could pass a {@link java.util.TreeMap} during construction, and
 * {@link #createCollection()} could return a {@link java.util.TreeSet}, in which case the
 * multimap's iterators would propagate through the keys and values in sorted order.
 *
 * <p>Keys and values may be null, as long as the underlying collection classes support null
 * elements.
