Two elements are considered equal if and only if
<literal>(string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2</literal>. In words:
when the string representation is the same.

<para>
This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional
array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using
<literal>array_diff($array1[0], $array2[0]);</literal>.
