set to one. If any of an array's dimensions has a lower bound index not
equal to one, an additional decoration that indicates the actual
array dimensions will precede the array structure decoration.
The decoration consists of square braces (<literal>[</> and <literal>]</>)
around each array dimension's lower and upper bound indices, plus
a colon (<literal>:</>) delimiter character in between. Delimiting the
array dimension decoration from the array structure decoration is a
single assignment operator (<literal>=</>). For example:
This decoration consists of square brackets (<literal>[]</>)
around each array dimension's lower and upper bounds, with
a colon (<literal>:</>) delimiter character in between. The
array dimension decoration is followed by an equal sign (<literal>=</>).

In a similar fashion, an array with non-default indices may be specified
using the same literal syntax. For example:
This syntax can also be used to specify non-default array subscripts
in an array literal. For example:
<programlisting>
SELECT f1[1][-2][3] AS e1, f1[1][-1][5] AS e2

You may write whitespace before a left brace or after a right
brace. You may also write whitespace before or after any individual item
string. In all of these cases the whitespace will be ignored. However,
whitespace within double quoted elements, or surrounded on both sides by
non-whitespace characters of an element, are not ignored.
