yeah -- I've seen a bit of interest in this feature, but AFAIK
nobody's working on it, and no plausible design has been submitted
(which is a giant red flag in terms of 9.2 acceptance).  fair warning:
this is one of those items that sounds neat but is a lot more
complicated than it looks.

in the meantime, just do the workaround I do: make an immutable
function that takes your type as input, and manually apply the
constraint in various places like (like as a table constraint).
