Found it (partial) answer!
RTFM, as the wise man said. If you have not found, then have you read
not enough.
If anyone else need to do the same, look the manuals...
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-alteropclass.html
BUT, I have not found how to change the existing operator class to be
default for the data type without dropping and recreating.
It is there, or are the docs outdated?
Thanks,
Edson Richter
