No, that seems quite wrong. array_in won't de-dup single quotes.

Yeah, I think so. I was confused for a bit because the one extant
user of appendPGArray is getNamespaces which does an additional layer
of quote-doubling via quoteAclUserName. However, that seems to be because
it's trying to build aclitem[] arrays whose elements will be read by
aclitemin, and that de-dups double quotes.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to add a test case.
