I looked over the code and the default comparator uses the default
"compare" method of the object. All ints and longs are wrapped in a
"Long" before being added to the Frequency table. I suspect that the
Long objects being added cannot be compared to the Character objects
without throwing an error?
The other thought is that the NaturalComparator is not added to default
TreeMap when its created.
Frequency.NaturalComparator
