[GitHub] [arrow] honno commented on issue #22446: [Python] Array equals returns incorrectly if NaNs are in arrays

   Worth noting `Table.equals()` treats NaNs as equal on the contrary
   
   ```python
   >>> table = pa.Table.from_pydict({"foo": [float("nan")]})
   >>> table.equals(table)
   True
   ```
   
   and `RecordBatch.equals()` does not
   
   ```python
   >>> record_batch = pa.RecordBatch.from_pydict({"a": [float("nan")]})
   >>> record_batch.equals(record_batch)
   False
   ```
   
   (+1 for an equals option, but also just to say it'd be nice if there was consistency amongst the default calls of `equals()` too).
