James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-1705:
---------------------------------------

Good point about ARRAY_CAT, [~Dumindux]. Although it work for now (b/c we don't 
support multi-dimensional arrays), if we do down the road, it'd be ambiguous. 
Let's flag that case as an error then.

Yes, correct - do as much checking as you can in the constructor. It's called 
*once* during compilation versus *once per row* for evaluate. For example, with 
the following:
{code}
SELECT ARRAY_APPEND(array_col, 1) FROM T;
{code}
assume that array_col is an INTEGER ARRAY, so this is valid, and assume T has 
1B rows. You'd be doing the type validation 1B times instead of 1 time if you 
do type checking in the evaluate versus the constructor.
