any optimization will be about 10-20% slower than direct access. See
my tests: on large arrays isn't significant if you use a simple
expression or full query. This is just overhead from building a
"tuplestore" and access to data via cursor. And you cannot to change a
SRF functions to returns just array. I would to see any optimization
on this level, but I think so it's unreal expecting.
