This isn't really contrib/intarray's fault, it's a symptom of the
general question of what an "empty" array is. See thread here:

Given the lack of consensus about how to change the behavior, I wouldn't
recommend holding your breath waiting for a fix --- and in any case
we'd not likely risk back-patching any such change. Instead of testing
for equality to '{}' you'd probably be better off testing the array
dimensions, as suggested here:
