Thanks for spotting that. Sorry list!

I managed to do testing against servers on all the versions >= 8.0 and
I discovered that prior to version 8.1 they don't support ALL/ANY on
oidvectors; so I added another query form.

But I don't like having so many different queries, so I am in favour
of trimming it down. Can I leave that up to the committer to remove
some cases or do we need another patch?

Here's another.
