Thinking about it that way, perhaps we could add an integer column
amop_whats_it_good_for that gets used as a bit field. That wouldn't
require changing the index structure, although it might break some
other things.
OPERATOR strategy_number ( op_type [ , op_type ] ) [ FOR { SEARCH |
ORDER } [, ...] ]
It's very desirable thing to be able to distinguish roles in consistent method
of GiST: computation of distance could be very expensive and. The single way to
provide it in current GiST interface is a strategy number. Of course, we could
add 6-th argument to consistent to point role, but I don't think that's good
decision.
