The reason that happens is that the internal name of the array type c[]
is "_c", and the order of search for ambiguous function names is such
that a function-style cast interpretation will be selected over an
actual function; see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/typeconv-func.html
particularly step 3.
I'm afraid that there's not much we can do about this without breaking
cases that people are accustomed to have working.
