I think I see a bug in lib.user_array.container class.  The __eq__  
method is

     def __eq__(self,other): return self._rc(equal(self.array,other))

the expression equal(self.array,other) will return an ndarray of  
bools, which is then converted, by way of self._rc(), to whatever the  
derived class is.  In my case, this does not make sense, because an  
array of bools is not a valid argument to the constructor (actually,  
the data buffer is accepted, but the results are not reliable).  What  
I want, and it seem most people would want in this situation, is just  
the array of bools; i.e. don't apply the self._rc() method.

Assuming there is agreement that this is the desirable behavior, the  
same would be true for __lt__, __le__, etc.

I will probably override this behavior by defining my own __eq__,  
etc., in my derived class, just for safety.
