Works for me in 8.0 ;-). Before 8.0, if you tried to assign to just one
value of an array that was initially NULL, the array stayed NULL.
(That behavior made sense from the point of view of the implementation,
which sees array element assignment as a binary operation taking an
array and a new element value ... but it wasn't especially useful.)
