Review Comment:
   It's currently allowed in this change set in order to maintain parity with 
the case of a using a singular comparisonColumn.  Currently, if the comparison 
value is null it will take <default value> for the column.  If a subsequent 
record for the same PK also has a null comparison value, it will take <default 
value> for the column and end up with `compareTo` being `0` which results in 
the record being kept.
   
   Allowing all values to be null when using multiple comparison columns would 
maintain this behaviour.  Thoughts?
