Description: constructor for int2vector seems to be buggy
Details:

I couldn't find any documentation for the data type 'int2vector', so I
assume it is unsupported. And moreover, probably I am using an unsupported
syntax for populating it, so it may be not that high on priority.

But still filing, in case it uncovers something else.

In the first INSERT statement, the array elements are separated by a
comma and a space; in the second one, the ones that are separated by just a
comma, do not get inserted!

I could not reproduce it in standard inetegr arrays.

Session o/p:

postgres=# select version();
version
