I disagree -- I think we should get the second patch in, and consider it
a requisite for the other one.  Let's iron it out fully and get it
pushed soon, then we can rebase the array FK patch on top.  I think it's
missing docs, though.  I wonder if it can usefully get cross-type
operators, i.e., @>>(bigint[],smallint) in some way?  Maybe the
"anycompatiblearray" thing can be used for that purpose?
