pl/pgsql errors when multi-dimensional arrays are used - Mailing list pgsql-docs

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:

I have PostgreSQL 13. Let's declare the type below, then use it in
pl/pgsql:

create type typ1 as (
    fld1 int[][]
);

do $$
    declare
       a typ1;
    begin
        a.fld1 = '{{121,122,123,124}}';        -- OK            (1)
        a.fld1[1] = '{221,222,223,224}';        -- fails        (2)
        a.fld1[1][1] = 321;                    -- OK            (3)
        a.fld1[1][2] = 322;                    -- OK unless line (1) is removed
    end;
$$;

In line (2) the plql reports ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type integer:
"{221,222,223,224}"
When lines (1) and (2) are removed, psql reports ERROR:  array subscript out
of range

Is this expected behavior? Why?
