The && operator is not marked leakproof, so it can't be applied till
after the RLS filter, making an indexscan with it impossible when
RLS is active.
Perhaps arrayoverlap() itself could be proven leakproof, but the
underlying type-specific equality operator might or might not be.
We don't have enough infrastructure to handle indirect leakproofness
requirements like that, so you lose :-(
