There is no specific support for it. Data from column that rekall does not 
understand is passed around internally with type "driver" (as opposed to 
"fixed", "float", etc.) *but* is must represented as a text string.

As far as I recall (heh!) some postgres types like "point" come back like 
"(1,3)" so they will be passed arounf OK, but I've never tried "array", etc.
