What do you mean by complex queries? You can always use the SET command. Sadly
it doesn't work when you have different thresholds within distinct subqueries.(In pg_similarity I use this approach to
setthe function's thresholds). What
 
I am investigating is a way to build an index with some user-defined
parameters. (We already have some infra-structure in reloptions for that but
it needs some work to support my idea). I have some half-baked patch that I'm
planning to submit to some of the CFs. Unfortunately, I don't have time for itATM.
