I think it would be good to add new catalog table. It may be named as pg_type_sbs or pg_subscripting (second is better
Ithink).
 
This table may have the fields:
- oid
- sbstype
- sbsinit
- sbsfetch
- sbsassign

And command 'CREATE SUBSCRIPTING' should add an entry to the pg_subscripting table. It also adds entries to the
pg_dependtable: dependency between pg_type and pg_subscripting, dependency between pg_type and pg_proc.
 
'DROP SUBSCRIPTING' should drop this entries, it should not drop init function.

According to the Tom's comment the syntax can be modified in the following way:

CREATE SUBSCRIPTING FOR type_namei ( INITFUNC = subscripting_init_func FETCHFUNC = subscripting_fetch_func ASSIGNFUNC =
subscripting_assign_func
)
DROP SUBSCRIPTING FOR type_name
