I'm not sure I understood you correctly. You're talking about having two
nodes
`ArrayRef` and `SubscriptingRef` at the same time for the sake of backward
compatibility, am I right? But they're basically the same, since
`SubscriptingRef` name is used just to indicate more general purpose of this
node.

Yes, but it was related to the idea of having `ArrayRef` and `JsonbRef`
nodes
for specific types. Since now there is generic `SubscriptingRef` node, I
think
it should be ok.

Just to be clear - as far as I understood, these compilation problems were
caused not because the extension knew something about ArrayRef node in
particular, but because the extension tried to extract all nodes to generate
code from them. It means any change will require "refetching", so I think
it's
natural for this extension.
