-String comparisons now supported in ufuncs
-------------------------------------------
-The comparison ufuncs `np.equal`, `np.greater`, etc. now support
-unicode and byte string inputs (dtypes ``S`` and ``U``).
-Due to this change a ``FutureWarning`` is now given when comparing
-unicode to byte strings.  Such comparisons always returned ``False``
-and continue to do so at this time.
