Looking at the typed array spec I did not find a way to compare (efficiently) 2 arrays, 

Is that something that was considered and discarded for some reason ? Or did it just not made it into the spec yet ?

I don't know the reason why it's not in the spec. I would think it'd be useful  if the comparison operator between typed arrays/views would make a range check and if matching performed a memcmp.

Indeed, specifying a range for the compare and underneath relying on memcmp is *exactly* what I believe is missing.

I'll follow up by filing an issue about this.

Thanks,

Fabrice.
