Have you considered a grammar approach like for arrays, so that you
would write something like

CREATE TABLE ... (
    foo RANGE OF int
);

instead of explicitly creating a range type for every scalar type in
existence?  I think that that might be easier to use in the common case.

I guess the trick might be how to store and pass the operator class and
some other parameters.
