If that's describing Exclusion Constraints, I don't know if that's the
best description.

If you're looking for a quick, one-line description, perhaps:
  "Non-scalar/spatial index constraints (Exclusion Constraints)"

Without the words "Exclusion Constraints," nobody would even know where
to look in the documentation. Something about GiST could be mentioned,
but that might make it sound like it only works on GiST.

Also, "Deferrable UNIQUE" is a nice feature that doesn't need much
explanation, and would seem to fit on a beta announcement.
