I think this one can be dropped.  The definition of a general
array_accum() is very easy, and supplied in the docs:

CREATE AGGREGATE array_accum (anyelement)
(   sfunc = array_append,   stype = anyarray,   initcond = '{}'
);

A general one-dimensional array enumerator is equally easy to define,
though not in the docs (there is a two-dimensional array enumerator
called unnest2 under generate_subscripts):

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION array_enum(anyarray)   RETURNS SETOF anyelement AS
$$   SELECT $1[i] FROM generate_subscripts($1,1) i
$$ LANGUAGE sql;

With a little more work you could even (crazy thought) add some error checking.

It would probably be helpful if the generate_subscripts and array
documentation were cross-referenced a bit better.  There's no
indication on the array page that generate_subscripts() is out there,
and it's clearly both very useful and array-related.
