For a custom type to be used in a btree index, it is possible to create a function in SQL (as opposed to C) that is used in the create operator class statement to specify how equality is defined. A good example of this is presented inhttp://www.cybertec.at/2013/11/operator-classes-explained/.
Is it possible to define functions in SQL (as opposed to C) to do the same thing -- create an operator class -- for a gin index? According to the documentation, there are four functions that would need to be defined: overlap, contains, is contained by and equal [1]. If so, what would the SQL function signature be?
