contrib/intarray has GiST index, not GIN, which has basic support
for bigint[].

We have item in our TODO list
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/wiki/TODO
GiSTarray - intarray for all built-in data types - 1 week

   create table foo
   (
     bia bigint[]
   );

But you can't build indexes on them using the intarray extension
opclasses, which I think is what he wants to know about.  There is
gist__intbig_ops, but that is for big arrays of ints, not for arrays
of bigints.

As far as I know there are no plans on this front.

If Igor only needs &&, @> and <@ then he can just use the builtin gin
opclass for those.  But he can't get @@ and ~~ from the built-ins.

Cheers,

Jeff
