I changed this. It was UGLY.
Now you can do:
from gluon.contrib.gql import gae
db.define_table('person',Field('names',gae.StringListProperty()))
and you can do:
db.person.insert(names=['Massimo','Max'])
db(db.person.names=='Massimo').select()
So you can use any native google type AND you can make your own.
