-------------------------------------------------------------------

Do we really need {{ARRAY_SIZE}}?
I'm asking because there is already existing {{CARDINALITY}} which also gives 
size of array or map and returns {{NULL}} for null input.

I would rather suggest something like {{ARRAY_LENGTH}} from postgres which 
could return the size of the specified array dimension
{noformat}
array_length ( anyarray, integer ) → integer

Returns the length of the requested array dimension. (Produces NULL instead of 
0 for empty or missing array dimensions.)

array_length(array[1,2,3], 1) → 3

array_length(array[]::int[], 1) → NULL

array_length(array['text'], 2) → NULL
{noformat}
