That's good to know. I had thought that all operators only worked on
strings or numbers, and since attempting to get the value of an array
(as opposed to the value of one of its elements) will always return an
empty string that "=" would work no better than the rest of them.
Interesting that it can be used like this.
For other types of comparisons, you might consider using either
arrayEncode or combine to flatten the array to a string that can then be
compared.
