Description:
Empty aclitem arrays are considered 1-dimensional, but in general empty
arrays are 0-dimensional. It leads to the following problems:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1) install fresh postgres, connect to it
2) select relacl, relacl = '{}'::aclitem[], (select aclexplode(relacl)),
array_length(relacl, 1) from pg_class where oid::regclass =
'pg_largeobject'::regclass;
3) select aclexplode('{}'::aclitem[]);
EXPECTED
2) {}, false, null, null
3) no error, zero-lines table
GOT
2) relacl | ?column? | ?column? | array_length
--------+----------+----------+--------------
{} | f | | 0
3) ERROR: ACL arrays must be one-dimensional
also it can be reproduced on some 9.2 version
