Deep equals for ObjectArrayAssert

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I am using version 1.0a1 of the FEST-Assert module.

It would be useful if ObjectArrayAssert would implement a "deep" version of
 the comparison methods, like isEqualTo(Object[]).
By deep I mean that if the elements of the teste array are arrays
themselves, then isEqualTo should "recursively" call (the call wouldn't
really be recursive) isEqualTo on all elements of the array.
Currently isEqualTo uses Arrays#equals(Object[], Object[]), which calls
#equals for each element of the arguments. The equals method for arrays
tests for identity, that's why the Array#equals methods exist in the first
place.

Thanks,
Csabi

It would also be useful to have contains/containsOnly methods use deep 
comparison.
