postgres=# select unnest(ARRAY[1,2,3]) with ordinality;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "ordinality"
LINE 1: select unnest(ARRAY[1,2,3]) with ordinality;
though this works
postgres=# select unnest(ARRAY[1,2,3]);

The manual
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/queries-table-expressions.html#QUERIES-TABLEFUNCTIONS
says
"Columns returned by table functions can be included in SELECT, JOIN,
or WHERE clauses in the same manner as columns of a table, view, or
subquery."
There is no qualification of that for WITH ORDINALITY, nor an example
So either the manual is wrong, or the syntax is.
Also, WITH ORDINALITY is not mentioned here...
