I raised this issue when dealing with version 7.1 and the conclusion
was that PL/PgSQL doesn't understand array syntax. If you construct
the array as { val, val, val, ... } it works, but that is not a
practical solution for most uses.

What can we do to at least get this on the radar screen as a known
bug?
