MultiEquality<E> class

Combines several equalities into a single equality.

Tries each equality in order, using Equality.isValidKey, and returns the result of the first equality that applies to the argument or arguments.

For equals, the first equality that matches the first argument is used, and if the second argument of equals is not valid for that equality, it returns false.

Because the equalities are tried in order, they should generally work on disjoint types. Otherwise the multi-equality may give inconsistent results for equals(e1, e2) and equals(e2, e1). This can happen if one equality considers only e1 a valid key, and not e2, but an equality which is checked later, allows both.
