The problem with btree is that it's designed to work with a compare function which compares two datums and returns greater than, equal to or less than. You can't build such an operator for intervals, so there's a problem. However, if you decree that a zero return value mean "collision for the purposes of a unique index" then you could probably make it work. *However* using it for lookups probably won't work very well then...
