I guess that for manage efficiently million of email addresses I need
to have a built in type instead of a domain with a regex as validator,
considering also that I wish select email for domain like:

select * from users where email >> 'hotmail.com';

About the functionality we can have a deal on which functionality
this type should have.

I'll do it also in order to acquire confidence with the pg code.
