Honestly none of the alternatives is very appealing and v6 is probably 
the least bad.

When I ran into this issue I thought about adding and EMPTY keyword (we 
do not want more keywords) or adding support for specifying array 
literals like this [] or [a, b], but that would be confusing since 
postgresql.conf does not allow any such syntax.
