Except, why doesn't it work in the CREATE TABLE statement? One needs
to add the UNIQUE index as a separate command. For example,

-- doesn't work
create table foo
(
    foo date_co_interval
    , unique (((foo).from_date), ((foo).to_date))
);

-- fails (as expected)
create table foo
(
    foo date_co_interval
    , unique (((foo.foo).from_date), ((foo.foo).to_date))
);

-- works
create table foo (foo date_co_interval);
create unique index foo_idx on foo (((foo).from_date), ((foo).to_date));

Is this also excluded because of some parser ambiguity?
