There's no support for that at the moment.  In principle the range
case could be converted to something like "integer_column >= lower_value
AND integer_column <= upper_value" by attaching a support function to
<@ and implementing the SupportRequestIndexCondition API.  I think it
could only work for a plan-time-constant range though, else you'd not know
whether to use equality or inequality bounds.  (Hmm ... or maybe, use
equality always and treat it as a lossy conversion?  But infinite bounds
would still be a headache.)
