There's no magic nice solution to this, or we'd have told you about it.

Possible options:

1. Remove intarray extension.
2. Move intarray extension to a schema that's not in your search path.
3. Create an index using intarray's opclass, instead of or in addition
to the core-opclass index.
4. Rename intarray's && operator to something else (will bite you at
next dump/reload, where the renaming will be lost).
5. Always schema-qualify references to the core && operator.

All of these have obvious downsides, especially if you're actively
using the intarray extension for other purposes.
