Applied with minor fixes; mostly, ensuring that the cast action would
propagate down to sub-arrays, as in
regression=# select array[[1],[2.2]]::int[];
array
-----------
{{1},{2}}
(1 row)
I was interested to realize that this fix validates the decision to
pass down the type information on-the-fly during transformExpr recursion.
It would have been a lot more painful to do it if we'd taken the A_Const
approach.
I didn't do anything about removing A_Const's typename field, but I'm
thinking that would be a good cleanup patch.
