The ones ANALYZE uses are the members of the default btree opclass for
the datatype.  If there isn't one, it doesn't build a histogram.

I don't believe that's possible from SQL; as you found out, the type
system won't allow it, and it'd be a security hole if it did (since
there wouldn't be any check that the data you store actually matches
the type of the column the pg_statistic row claims to be about).
