I have put some thought into it. What about the following syntax?

CREATE SUBSCRIPTING FOR type_name
  INITFUNC = subscripting_init_func
  FETCHFUNC = subscripting_fetch_func
  ASSIGNFUNC = subscripting_assign_func
DROP SUBSCRIPTING FOR type_name

But I am not if the community will like such syntax.
