This would be usefull beyond the scope of this ticket.

Such utility methods would be absolutely helpful for different tasks and 
purposes. Would be great to have such a thing ready to use in PDFBox!
 This would be especially helpful for implementing in depth testing methods, or 
to compare two unrelated documents to one another.

I improvised a XML based document comparison for my tests, but would be very 
grateful if I could replace that monstrosity with something a little more 
sophisticated.

> In order to proper support removeAll/retainAll for COSArrayList we need to 
> detect if entries are in fact duplicates of others. This currently fails as 
> even though one might add the same instance of an annotation object multiple 
> times to setAnnotations getting the annotations will have individual 
> instances. See the discussion at PDFBOX-4669.
> In order to proper support removal we need to be able to detect equality 
> where an object is equal if the underlying COSDictionary has the same entries.
