I'm curious; is the extra cmp something that's actually required by Rust's semantics, or is this more along the lines of an optimizer bug/missed optimization?

This particular case is because array delegates to slice for Eq, and slice has the pointer comparison - though it looks like there's some churn here with 'guaranteed_eq' so it may be fixed soon [1].
