the `getitem` operator, i.e. the bracket operator in Python. This is used at first to provide index and slice behavior to the Postgresql ARRAY type, and also provides a hook for end-user definition of custom __getitem__ schemes which can be applied at the type level as well as within ORM-level custom operator schemes. Note that this change has the effect that descriptor-based __getitem__ schemes used by the ORM in conjunction with synonym() or other "descriptor-wrapped" schemes will need to start using a custom comparator in order to maintain this behavior. - [feature] postgresql.ARRAY now supports indexing and slicing. The Python [] operator is available on all SQL expressions that are of type ARRAY; integer or simple slices can be passed. The slices can also be used on the assignment side in the SET clause of an UPDATE statement by passing them into Update.values(); see the docs for examples. - [feature] Added new "array literal" construct postgresql.array(). Basically a "tuple" that renders as ARRAY[1,2,3].
