http://www.varlena.com/GeneralBits/109.php might provide some useful
insights. I also recall seeing something about sum operators for arrays,
but I can't recall where.

Uhm... please don't tell me that you're using 0 in place of NULL...

You might be able to greatly simplify that by use of ANY; you'd need to
ditch elements 1-19 though:

... WHERE NOT ANY(array) = 0

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/arrays.html
