Urk ... "works" for small values of "work", perhaps. Did you try using
the index from a fresh session?
We could support this for named composite types but not for anonymous
record types. I'm not quite sure how to enforce that distinction
considering that the opclass is defined to take "record". Maybe we
should apply CheckAttributeType() to index column types?
