From this point of view, seems N dimensions of empty array all are equivalent.

But the result of array_length of them always are null.

postgres=# select array_length('{}'::integer[],0);
 array_length
--------------

postgres=# select array_length(array[[[]]]::integer[][][],0);
 array_length
--------------


postgres=# select array_length(array[[[]]]::integer[][][],3) is null;
 ?column?
----------
 t



I just think any "empty" array length should return 0, but not null.  It's not 
a NULL array.

Is there standard definition of this behavior?
