Hi. Selecting/fetching an empty 1D array using a binary-mode PGresult,
gives me back 12 bytes, and the first 4, the rank, is 0, something I was
not expecting.
I was expecting dims_rank = 1, then first_dim = 0

Normal? Next two ints are kinda useless given the 0 rank?
It's easy to fix, to support rank=0 for empty arrays, I just want to
confirm.

Thanks, --DD

PS: On a side note; where can I find the sending code for arrays?
I didn't find the usual _send() and _recv() functions (but looking on
github online...)

PPS: The relevant part of my code is below, for context:

    uint32_t dims_rank = read();
    if (dims_rank != 1) {
        throw std::runtime_error(fmt::format(
            "Unsupported array rank: Got {}; Want 1", dims_rank
        ));
    }
    uint32_t has_nulls = read();
    uint32_t actual_elem_oid = read();
    uint32_t first_dim = read();
    uint32_t lower_idx = read();

    ensure_oid(Oid{ actual_elem_oid }, expected_elem_oid);
    UNUSED(has_nulls);
    assert(lower_idx == 1);
