Right, but they do have a concept of arrays that's similar to ours,
and AFAICS the spec demands different behavior for an array-returning
function than what we've got here.

We could conceivably say that we'll implicitly UNNEST() if the function
returns array, and not otherwise --- but that seems pretty inconsistent
and surprise-making to me.  I'm not too sure what to do if a function
returns setof array, either.
