It is - use an expression index. That's by far the most important way
to specify what to index in a more detailed fashion. There are others,
but that's the major one. Beyond that, yes, it's necessary to
carefully write your query predicate a certain way. However, a similar
situation exists in MongoDB, where there is a distinction between
"Indexes on embedded fields" (which must be accessed using special
"dot notation") and "indexes on subdocuments" (which cannot be
accessed using "dot notation"). It's late here, but I'm pretty sure
that's a feature and not a limitation.
