There isn't any, because the feature doesn't work. It might have
worked once upon a time back in the PostQUEL days (or not, I don't
really know). But there's no support for doing anything useful with
composite-type fields in the current system.

It'd be interesting to work on fixing this, but I haven't heard from
any volunteers.
