Thank you for the review.

Please find the new patch here, with your comments taken into consideration.

However, the following comment "Related to the above: I am not sure if it
is a good idea to make ELEMENT a reserved word in column definitions. What
if the SQL standard wants to use it for something?
I think I prefer (EACH ELEMENT OF xs) over (ELEMENT xs) given how the
former is more in what I feel is the spirit of SQL. And if so we should
match it as "xs integer[] EACH ELEMENT REFERENCES t1 (x)", assuming we want
that syntax." is outside my area of expertise. The original authors should
take a look at it (Tom Lane and Marco). They had a whole discussion on the
matter, here.
