Related to this I'd also like to add a boolean XOR operator as that's a
relatively common request/question.
We have boolean XOR; it's spelled "<>".
I always forget about that...
Maybe it should be mentioned explicitly in the docs.
Hrm, went to go add it and it appears we don't have a section for
boolean type operators. I guess I should add it to 9.1?
though, it doesn't work for boolean arrays.
Define doesn't work?
I would expect array[true, false] XOR array[true, true] to return
array[false, true], but <> just returns a single true (since the arrays
are !=).
Though, I guess what would make the most sense there is a map function
that would apply an operator or function to every element of a set of
arrays. But I don't see any way to do that without major changes to how
anyarray works.
