docstring: Check if we are comparing a string-like object to a numeric ndarray.
      NumPy doesn't like to compare such objects, especially numeric arrays
      and scalar string-likes.
  
      Parameters
      ----------
      a : array-like, scalar
          The first object to check.
      b : array-like, scalar
          The second object to check.
  
      Returns
      -------
      boolean
          Whether we return a comparing a string-like object to a numeric array.
  
      Examples
      --------
      >>> is_numeric_v_string_like(1, 1)
      False
