Using simple type equality is too strict for arrays of non-constant size: we introduce a fresh symbol for the size of each dynamically allocated object of non-constant size. Consequently, two dynamically allocated arrays of non-constant size will never pass type equality checking, even when their underlying sizes are the same.
We now explicitly compare the sizes of the two arrays passed to array_equal when types are not trivially equal.
