     * Numeric or timestamp lock values could be compared:
     * for every pair of values v1 and v2 - either v1 lessthan v2; or v1==v2; or v1 greaterthan v2.
     * However it's impossible to compare values for FieldsLockingPolicy for two reasons:
     * 1. there is no "linear order": v1 lessthan v2 and v greaterthan v2 is not defined: either v1==v2 or v1!=v2;
     * 2. locking value is not a single field which is not part of mapped object value
     *    but rather a set of object's mapped fields. That means any object's mapped attribute change
     *    is potentially a change of the locking value.
     *    For ChangedFieldsLockingPolicy every mapped attribute's change is a change of locking value.
     *    The pattern used by versioning: "if the original locking value is unchanged
     *    then the object hasn't been changed outside of the application", which allows
     *    to distinguish between the change made inside and outside the application,
     *    doesn't work for fields locking.
     *    It degenerates into useless pattern: "if the original locking value is unchanged
     *    then the object hasn't been changed".
     *    
     * Use compareWriteLockValues method only if this method returns true.
