According to the documentation, a lot of multiset conditions should also work with varrays, which they don't (at least not in the SQL language):
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/conditions006.htm#SQLRF52138

I've created a Stack Overflow question which illustrates what I mean:

I guess this is a documentation bug?

Definitely a doc bug. Because even the syntax diagram explicitly notes nested table

MULTISET_SYNTAX

I've logged it with the doc team.
