Is it only meant for runtime and phobos to be updated? Or does 
user-libraries, such as container libraries, need to be updated 
aswell?

Well considering that they are templates in druntime, you will 
need to recompile your code (and any 3rd party code) against the 
new druntime, with a recent dmd (don't think ldc has the updates 
yet).

__equal is never really mean to be called directly. It's a 
druntime template that will be used via inserted calls with the 
complier front end when array comparisons are used.
