Subject: access sub elements using any()

Given an array of arrays ( e.g. v = {{1,'a'},{2,'b'},{3,'c'},{2,'d'}} ) 
is it possible, in plain sql, to access the first element of the listed 
arrays using the IN function?  Say I wanted just those with 2 as first 
element.  "where 2 = any(v[1])" does not work and not sure it's 
supported.   And I cannot craft a lhs to fussy-match each of the 
elements in v.  Can this be done?
