Just to add a couple more permutations of Robert Haas's suggestions:

exclusion operator constraints
exclusive operator constraints

I also like those.

I think that using the word "operator" first makes it sound like the
operator is the thing being excluded, and adding "-based" makes it more
clear but it is too verbose.
