No, as depesz says it's not doing that. Depending on what you want out
you can get most of the way by having an array of ROWs that contain an
array of integers. You just need to change:
> select array(
> select a from (
> select array[2,3] as a
> union

to return "x" instead of "a" in the inner select. Something like:
select array(
select x from (
select array[2,3] as a
union
select array[3,4] as a ) x);
getting the resulting tuples out again is a bit of a struggle and you
may be better off with using a custom type. Have a look at CREATE
TYPE[1] for this.
