Specifically, what are you going to do with something like
make_array(anyelement, anyelement) returns anyarray
There's no principled way to determine what anyarray means if the
arguments are not the same type.
I have no objection to adding some other pseudotype with different
behavior, but breaking anyelement is not the path.
