TBH, I'm not really thrilled about the concept in general; it (zero
based indexing support) doesn't meet the standard of necessity for
adding to the core API and as stated it's much to magical. If it was
me, I'd be making a pgxn extension for zero based arrays that are zero
based; it could be 100% SQL wrappers so I'd be pretty easy to install
for interested parties.
