|+   The multirange could be explicitly cast to the array of corresponding
should say: "can be cast to an array of corresponding.."

|+ * Cast multirange to the array of ranges.
I think should be: *an array of ranges

Per sqlsmith, this is causing consistent crashes.
I took one of its less appalling queries and simplified it to this:

select
pg_catalog.multirange_to_array(
    cast(pg_catalog.int8multirange() as int8multirange)) as c2
from (select 1)x;
