I think it may indeed be unreachable at present, because we don't support
something like this:
regression=# create table tt (f1 complex[]);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# update tt set f1[2:3].r = array[7,11];
ERROR: cannot assign to field "r" of column "f1" because its type complex[] is
not a composite type
LINE 1: update tt set f1[2:3].r = array[7,11];
^
regression=# update tt set f1[2:3].r = array[7,11];
ERROR: cannot assign to field "r" of column "f1" because its type complex[] is
not a composite type
LINE 1: update tt set f1[2:3].r = 42;
^
I would not like to remove it though. This particular bit of the executor
has no business making assumptions about how array and field references
can be nested.
