Tom Lane 6b0706ac33 Arrange for an explicit cast applied to an ARRAY[] constructor to be applied
directly to all the member expressions, instead of the previous implementation
where the ARRAY[] constructor would infer a common element type and then we'd
coerce the finished array after the fact.  This has a number of benefits,
one being that we can allow an empty ARRAY[] construct so long as its
element type is specified by such a cast.

Brendan Jurd, minor fixes by me.

Parser
------

This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries.  It also
creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed
to the optimizer and then executor.

parser.c	things start here
scan.l		break query into tokens
scansup.c	handle escapes in input strings
keywords.c	turn keywords into specific tokens
gram.y		parse the tokens and fill query-type-specific structures
analyze.c	top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries
parse_clause.c	handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ...
parse_coerce.c	handle coercing expressions to different types
parse_expr.c	handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4
parse_oper.c	handle operators in expressions
parse_agg.c	handle aggregates, like SUM(col1),  AVG(col2), ...
parse_func.c	handle functions, table.column and column identifiers
parse_node.c	create nodes for various structures
parse_target.c	handle the result list of the query
parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling
parse_type.c	support routines for type handling
parse_utilcmd.c	parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time)
