   That was what the pre-7.2 coding did, and it was broken.  Types abstime
   and "char" are counterexamples in one direction, and float8 and numeric
   are counterexamples in the other.  (And that's not even considering
   user-defined datatypes.)  We are not going back to that.

ok, thanks for the concise summary.  i will try to think of another
approach to achieve this kind of consistency for array output.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
      joining column's datatypes do not match
