 Strict comparison of arrays as unsorted hashmaps currently isn't possible and requires sorting the array, prior to comparison.

 Array functions might be added to compare arrays in different ways. But that's outside the scope of this RFC.
+==== How can objects be compared by property? ====
+With the ''=='' operator, two object instances are equal if they have the same attributes and values, and are instances of the same class. Values are compared with ''=='', applying type juggling. Using ''==='' will check if the objects are the same instance.
+When using strict_operators, ''=='' with objects will always throw a ''TypeError''. With ''%%==%%'' unavailable, ''get_object_vars'' needs to be used.
+<code php>
+get_class($object1) === get_class($object2) && get_object_vars($object1) === get_object_vars($object2);
+</code>
 ==== Why isn't is allowed to increment strings with strict_operators? ====
