User-defined objects that reference some built-in array functions
along with their argument types must be recreated (Tom Lane)

Specifically, <link

<function>array_prepend()</function>,
<function>array_cat()</function>,
<function>array_position()</function>,
<function>array_positions()</function>,
<function>array_remove()</function>,
<function>array_replace()</function>, or <link
linkend="functions-math"><function>width_bucket()</function></link>
used to take <type>anyarray</type> arguments but now take
<type>anycompatiblearray</type>. Therefore, user-defined objects
like aggregates and operators that reference old array function
signatures must be dropped before upgrading and recreated once the
upgrade completes.
