Weird array comparison limitation

I'll bet this is just a byproduct of the parser's current complexity, 
one that hopefully they'll extend for completeness.

Historically, all comparison operators treated arrays as empty strings 
since they're not strings at all per se.

Apparently they special-cased "=" to be able to check whether a variable 
is an array or a string, and if the former to dive into its contents for 
a more thorough comparison, but they haven't yet extended that to the 
other operators.

Have you filed a request for this?
