Oh, you're using contrib/intarray?

Pursuant to the thread you mention above, we removed intarray's <@ and @>
operators (commit 65e758a4d3) but then reverted that (commit 156475a589)
because of backwards-compatibility worries.  It doesn't look like anything
got done about it since then.  Perhaps the extension upgrade
infrastructure would offer a solution now.

[ raised eyebrow... ]  It's pretty hard to see how those would be
a good idea.  Not all problems are best solved by hash joins.
