Hmm.  Is that really a good idea, compared to hard-wiring the checks
into nodeSeqscan and friends?  I didn't look at the query-rewriting
****tion of the patch in any detail, but I'd tend not to trust such
a technique very far: getting it right is going to be quite complex
and probably bug prone.

You didn't provide one ounce of justification for making it not obey the
expected behavior, so I'm not accepting this position.  It doesn't seem
to me to be all that unlikely that users would want to compute with
arrays of security labels.  As an example:
	select ... where security_label in ('foo', 'bar')
which will become an = ANY(ARRAY[]) construct under the hood.
