Bleah.
One option is to use OPERATOR(pg_catalog.@>), which aside from being
really ugly, isn't a complete fix because it still wouldn't work if
someone had decided to install parray_gin into the pg_catalog schema.
Or maybe what we should do is to avoid @> in favor of using
('d' = any(stxkind))
That's a bit less nice because it doesn't generalize as cheaply to
looking for multiple stxkind values, but since this query has no
current need for that, maybe it's fine.
Anyway, the fact that this is such a mess points up why trying to
alias polymorphic operators isn't such a hot idea. parray_gin
really ought to get rid of that operator.
