Here is a function, in the mean time, that will do a deep comparison of arrays:
function arraysAreEqual array1, array2
if array1 is not array2 then return false
put the keys of array1 into theKeys
repeat for each line thisKey in theKeys
put 0 into numberOfArrays
if array1[ thisKey ] is an array then add 1 to numberOfArrays
if array2[ thisKey ] is an array then add 1 to numberOfArrays
if numberOfArrays is 1 then return false
if numberOfArrays is 2 then
if not arraysAreEqual( array1[ thisKey ], array2[ thisKey ] ) then
return false
end if
end repeat
return true
end arraysAreEqual
