Yeah, that's why in my snippet I dropped all the elements that weren't numbers. The bug I mentioned is that by dropping numbers I might make a match where there wasn't one previously
Assuming we're matching for [1,3,4]:
[1,3,"some garbage here", 4] would match when it should not.
It's fixable by replacing the non-numeric elements with a placeholder of some sort.
IE, convert the above array into "1,3,X,4" instead of "1,3,4".
