Yeah, I didn't touch that, but it's pretty bogus because the first
number will always be "7" even if you wrote more than 7 left braces,
since the code errors out immediately upon finding that it's seen
too many braces.

The equivalent message in the PLs just says "number of array dimensions
exceeds the maximum allowed (6)".  I'm inclined to do likewise in
array_in, but didn't touch it here.

I'll look into whether we can improve those, unless you had a patch
in mind already?
