The above equation is not symmetric in `a` and `b`, so that
`allclose(a, b)` might be different from `allclose(b, a)` in
some rare cases.
+
+ The comparison of `a` and `b` includes standard broadcasting,
+ which means that `a` and `b` need not have the same shape in order for
+ allclose(a, b) to evaluate to True. (The same is true for `np.equals`.)
