We've just stumbled upon the problem in our service. Would it be backpatchable to add this check to pg_upgrade?

I want to check something like

select * from pg_aggregate join pg_proc on (aggtransfn = pg_proc.oid)
where proname in ('array_append', 'array_prepend','array_cat', 'array_position','array_positions', 'array_remove',
'array_replace','width_bucket') ; 

select * from pg_operator join pg_proc on (oprcode = pg_proc.oid)
where proname in ('array_append', 'array_prepend','array_cat', 'array_position','array_positions', 'array_remove',
'array_replace','width_bucket') and pg_operator.oid >= 16384; 

if pg_upgrade is executed with --check option.

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
