I can search a one dimensional array with SELECT value = ANY(array), but 
how do I search  two dimensional array for a particular row?  ANY seems 
to flatten out a two dimensional array.

[local]:playpen=> select 2 = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]); ?column?
---------- t
(1 row)

[local]:playpen=> select ROW(2,7) = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]);
ERROR:  operator does not exist: record = integer
LINE 1: select ROW(2,7) = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]);                        ^
HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You 
might need to add explicit type casts.
