Clarify custom types support

Description

In Go language, user is able to define a custom type on top of a built-in type.

For example:

type Set map[string]struct{}

func NewSet(items ...string) Set {
   ...
}

func (s Set) Has(key string) bool {
  _, ok := s[key]
 return ok
}

When I'm trying to use the same type, I get a following error:

Snippet

recovered: interface conversion: gnolang.Type is *gnolang.DeclaredType, not *gnolang.MapType
stack:

...

The same code but without custom map type works.

Looks like, Gno doesn't support this kind of stuff. I checked Go and Gno compat guide but it didn't mention this limitation.

Can you please update the compat doc?

gnolang / gno
