I see that implementing `equals` for value classes is not allowed. Which kind of makes sense, but what about arrays? I have a `value class Ints(val array: IntArray)` which fails on equality checks, because it won’t use contentEquals. Is this going to change in the future?

Looks like <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-32402> was closed as working as designed. There are some other related tickets still open but I don’t see anything concrete in the ways of plans to change it.

I see, thanks a lot. I guess I will add my use case there

Custom equals for value classes will be possible in the future: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-24874/Support-custom-equals-and-hashCode-for-value-classes>
