It's just a matter of staking out what's considered an implemented
feature. The ARRAY[] syntax is definitely in, so if it needs a few
adjustments around the edges to make it more spec-compliant, no one
will blink at doing that during beta.

If I were you I'd file this on the to-fix-later list and concentrate
on polymorphic aggregates during the next couple days. If that's not
done by Tuesday it will be a tough sell to put in during beta.
