I think more likely I broke it during the opfamily rewrite :-(. Looks
like I left out entries for _varchar (and _cidr too) thinking that the
binary-compatible functions in the same opfamily for _text and _inet
would serve ... but they won't, because arrays are never really "binary
compatible" (you have to at least substitute the other element type
OID). Will fix.
