limitation using LIKE on ANY(array)

[K C Lau <kclau60@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With 8.1.3, I get an error when trying to do this on a Text[] column
:
.. WHERE ANY(array) LIKE 'xx%'

Indeed, I get rejected even with:
.. WHERE ANY(array) = 'xx'

In both cases, the error is: ERROR:  syntax error at or near
"any" ... 

It would only work as documented in the manual (8.10.5):
SELECT * FROM sal_emp WHERE 10000 = ANY (pay_by_quarter);

It appears that this restriction is still in place in
8.2:
> http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/arrays.html

Is that the case?

Thanks in advance,
KC.
