ISTM that allowing users to pick arbitrary lower array bounds was a huge 
mistake. I've never seen anyone make use of it, can't think of any legitimate 
use cases for it, and hate the stupendous amount of extra code needed to deal 
with it.

Obviously we can't just drop support, but what about an initdb (or hell, even 
configure) option to disallow arrays with a lower bound <> 1? Unfortunately we 
can't do this with a GUC since you can store arrays in a table.
