AFAIK the GiST modifications suggested Aoki have not yet been implemented,
so this should not have been removed.
I thought that was an extremely vague limitation and could easily be
removed... It's like having a limitations section on btrees and have
mentioning in passing that it can't do full text indexing or something.
ok, it's sort of TODO
