Only if you're willing to lose array support ... which might be an
acceptable tradeoff for a server dedicated to running this broken
app. Not sure if anything internal depends on it, but I can't think
of anything offhand except the pg_stats view.

In any case, to go over to the [] approach would still require getting
the app developers to change their code, no?
