What about a 0? That seems more consistent to me. If the array is empty,
its dimensions are not "NULL", meaning "unknown", but in fact zero elements,
which is a known value. The way it works now, array_upper on a NULL array
produces the same results as array_upper on an empty-but-non-null array.
Or is there some concept I'm missing?
