array_to_set or array_expand seem a little better imo (shorter, and
symmetry with array_accum()), unless you want to differentiate between
internal funcs (array_cat and the like) vs. user funcs.

I would prefer a proper C implementation to a solution based around
generate_series(). I'm doing a lot of C funcs lately and would be
happy taking a stab at this...
