Yes, I found that after I submitted the bug. I still find it surprising that differently-nested structures stringify to the same thing, and the names seem a bit misleading, since stringification is still "deep" (it has to recurse into the structure to pull out all the leaves).
I'm wondering if there isn't a niche for a comparator that is still "shallow" in that it doesn't recurse past the top-level components of an aggregate, but still considers lists of differently-typed top-level items to be different. Thanks for the followup.
