Arrays and strings as event topics

[chriseth]

Arrays (including bytes and string) cannot be used as event topics as they are. Solidity automatically sha3-hashes such arguments them before setting them as topic. It might be worthwhile to do this also automatically in web3.js when filtering for events.

Does solidity also hashes strings and bytes longer than 32 bytes?
