Description:        Syntax error: WHERE ANY(arrayfield) = N
Details:

In reference to the array documentation at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/arrays.html#AEN5698

This statement works:
=> SELECT * FROM sal_emp WHERE 10000 = ANY (pay_by_quarter);

But this does not:
=> SELECT * FROM sal_emp WHERE ANY (pay_by_quarter) = 10000;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "ANY" at character ...

The ANY operator has the same problem, others may as well.

While trivial to work around, it is certainly annoying and I can't think of
a good reason why it shouldn't work either way.
