Unfortunately, it's not so simple. We can't just ship type casts to 
remote server if we are not sure that local and remote types match. For 
example,

CREATE TYPE enum_of_int_like AS enum('1', '2', '3', '4');
CREATE TABLE conversions(id int, d enum_of_int_like);
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft_conversions (id int, d char(1))
SERVER loopback options (table_name 'conversions');
INSERT INTO ft_conversions VALUES (1, '1'), (2, '2'), (3, '3'), (4, 
'4');

Patched version gives error:

-- Test array type conversion pushdown
SET plan_cache_mode = force_generic_plan;
PREPARE s(varchar[]) AS SELECT count(*) FROM ft_conversions WHERE d = 
ANY ($1);
EXPLAIN (VERBOSE, COSTS OFF)
EXECUTE s(ARRAY['1','2']);
                                             QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Foreign Scan
    Output: (count(*))
    Relations: Aggregate on (public.ft_conversions)
    Remote SQL: SELECT count(*) FROM public.conversions WHERE ((d = ANY 
($1::character varying[])))
(4 rows)

EXECUTE s(ARRAY['1','2']);
ERROR:  operator does not exist: public.enum_of_int_like = character

HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument types. You might 
need to add explicit type casts.

Original one does successful local filtering:

PREPARE s(varchar[]) AS SELECT count(*) FROM ft_conversions WHERE d = 
ANY ($1);
EXPLAIN (VERBOSE, COSTS OFF)
EXECUTE s(ARRAY['1','2']);
                         QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------
  Aggregate
    Output: count(*)
    ->  Foreign Scan on public.ft_conversions
          Output: id, d
          Filter: (ft_conversions.d = ANY (($1)::bpchar[]))
          Remote SQL: SELECT d FROM public.conversions
(6 rows)

EXECUTE s(ARRAY['1','2']);
  count
