You can't tell it that. The types on both sides of a foreign key
constraint need to be of comparable types (in this case defined as
having an = operator). int[] and int aren't comparable. There's
occasionally been talk about making type[]->type foreign keys
use element in array rather than equality, but since type[] could
be a multidimensional array I'm not sure that's well defined.
