xorm should support the pgvector plugin, which establishes the vector type.

The vector type is introduced by the pgvector plugin to allow for efficient storage and retrieval of embedding vectors, which are frequently used in machine learning. In databases, vectors are most commonly used for nearest neighbors search, for which specialized algorithms exist. One example is hierarchical navigable small world (hnsw), which is also implemented in the extension.

Xorm's struct tagging system does not currently support the vector type, but the type is becoming heavily used in modern AI application stacks, especially retrieval augmented generation (RAG).
