.. py:function:: ak.array_equal(a1, a2, equal_nan=False, dtype_exact=True, same_content_types=True, check_parameters=True, check_regular=True)

True if two arrays have the same shape and elements, False otherwise.

    :param a1: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).
    :param a2: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).
    :param equal_nan: bool (default=False)
                  Whether to count NaN values as equal to each other.
    :param dtype_exact: bool (default=True) whether the dtypes must be exactly the same, or just the
                    same family.
    :param same_content_types: bool (default=True)
                           Whether to require all content classes to match
    :param check_parameters: bool (default=True) whether to compare parameters.
    :param check_regular: bool (default=True) whether to consider ragged and regular dimensions as
                      unequal.

TypeTracer arrays are not supported, as there is very little information to
be compared.
