 3. Comparison -- `==`, `!=`, `≈` ([`isapprox`](@ref)), `≉`
 
-Most of the binary arithmetic operators listed above also operate elementwise
-when one argument is scalar: `-`, `+`, and `*` when either argument is scalar,
-and `/` and `\` when the denominator is scalar. For example, `[1, 2] + 3 == [4, 5]`
