Are these considered equal?

const a = [_:0]u8{ '4', '2'};
const b = [_]u8{ '4', '2'};

I am not sure how I could even check the sentinels match, or if it even 
matters :) but since I still have some custom string utils (some with 
sentinels, and some without (wasm not C)), I want to also have some 
tests to make sure they are adding/not adding sentinels in the correct 
place.  But then I get index of of bounds...  Any tips on how to test 
such functions please? Cheers Peter
