This works and is an improvement to my previous version as it allows for
upper boundaries with any number of digits. Thank you!
Still the solution looks ugly and will perform likewise. PostgreSQL
urgently needs improvment on array handling. Hopefully new versions take
care of that (haven't tested 7.3+).
BTW: Have been away for some days, so my reply is late, sorry.
