Hmm, this gets really complicated and inconsistent. Complicated means
unusable. What about modifying the dimension syntax such that the second
number means number of elements instead of upper bound? That particular
problem would go away then, and array_upper('[0:0]={}'::i

Actually, consistent with my last post, I think array_upper() on a
zero-element array should return NULL. A zero-element array has a
defined lower bound, but its upper bound is not zero -- it is really
undefined.
Just to clarify my response, this is what I propose:

No, that doesn't follow ... we've traditionally considered '{}' to
denote a zero-dimensional array. A 1-D array of no elements is
'[1:0]

No, that doesn't follow ... we've traditionally considered '{}' to
denote a zero-dimensional array. A 1-D array of no elements is
'[1:0]={}', just as Joe
