That you can do it yourself.
Make up a schema, write your rules, import, run the functions.

The aim of the "PostGIS Topology" module is to support a standard model
with standard rules.

Faces are walked by taking left turn on nodes.
"next_<left|right>_edge" is the edge you walk on after this one while
walking around the face on the <left|right> of the subject edge.
Note that the edge is walked on backward when going around
its right face. If the next is also backward you negate its id.

It should be all in the PostGIS manual.
