Well, plan B is that we could redefine things as "all array types should
have typdelim equal to their base type's typdelim". The backend still
wouldn't care, but if there are other clients out there confusing the
two, maybe this is important to worry about.
DefineType currently always sets the array's typdelim to ',', so I
figured that the built-in types should match that. But we could
easily change both of them to do the other. Thoughts?
