I may be misinterpreting your reply but.....
My real-world application has a set-returning PL/pgSQL function for which I
created a type, so the function is returning rows of this type. One of the
fields in this type is an array of int.

Yes, what I want is to be able to do something like:
select some_fields
from some_table
where some_int = ANY(
select field_of_type_array_of_int
from plpgsql_method_returning_custom_type
where we_just_return_a_single_record);
But this won't work, so I'm not quite getting what you mean by 'which already
had defined behavior by spec'
> Changing it to act like the first or last would break that spec behavior.
Ok, but I'm mainly looking for the 'proper' way to make this work, not
necessarily using a syntax like the first or last example.
