Oh, well, they can't. There's no GiST opclass covering arbitrary
composite types. This doesn't seem very surprising to me given
the lack of operators that such an opclass might accelerate.
What are you expecting an index on such a column to do for you?
If you just want a uniqueness constraint, plain btree can handle it.
