Yeah. Just a guess, we can add #identityIncludes: to Array
which will use same primitive as pointsTo:

Btw, i find it surprising that:

Array new pointsTo: Array

answering false.

An instance of class is always points to its class, no?

But its great, since we can use this 'bug/feature' to implement
#identityIncludes:  :)
