can you write reason?
I put fill value on end, because it is like default value:

Huh? That's completely nonsensical ... where will you determine the
type of the array, if you don't have a sample element?

it is nonsens in current postgres. But null array is castable to anyarray no?

If you mean an array of nulls, it still has to have an element type.
I know it - but there was discus about untyped array for empty arrays
like ARRAY[]
What's that have to do with array_init? It will not (usually)

idealized code:
a = array_set(array[10,10]); // untyped null array
a[10,10] = 'text'; -- now array is typed
And how did you declare 'a'? This seems like a solution in search of a
problem.

I can use hack:

Hello
There was more time questions about array's initialisation. I propose
function array_init.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION array_init(sizes int[], v anyelement)
RETURNS anyarray;
First parameter is array of dimension's sizes. Second argument is
value that will be used for initialisation.

maybe, maybe array_set. Any ideas are welcome
