    comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq.  Create
    a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
    on array columns.
    Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
    operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
    Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
    Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
    functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
    supported functions.
    Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
    zero-dimensional arrays.
