There already is support in array_in for specification of the array
dimensions (though it may be suffering bit rot for lack of use/testing).
I think the main thing needed is some thought about when array_out
should print dimensions; we don't want it doing so all the time, for
both clutter and backwards compatibility reasons.  Maybe "whenever any
lower bound is not 1" would do; or maybe we want to invent a GUC switch
to control its behavior.
