If a comparison has mismatched types and is not necessarily meaningful,
    follow python3 conventions by:

        - returning all-False for equality
        - returning all-True for inequality
        - raising TypeError otherwise

    Parameters
    ----------
    left : array-like
    right : scalar, array-like
    op : operator.{eq, ne, lt, le, gt}

    Raises
    ------
    TypeError : on inequality comparisons
