Understood.

So, as Tom hinted at, your best bet might be to write a

        function escape_underscore_in_1dim_text_array(IN TEXT[], OUT TEXT[])
                ...

which takes an array and puts '\' in front of every '_' of
each member such that you can write

        ... like any (escape_underscore_in_1dim_text_array(your_array)) ...

Would that solve the problem ?

(this assume *no* underscore is to be a wildcard in user
provided input, not just some)
