[HACKERS] Why is box <-> point missing, and box <-> box not indexable?

point <-> point, circle <-> point and polygon <-> point all exist as orderable-by-operator operators (in fact they are the only ones by default). But there's no box <-> point operator at all, and no index support for box <-> box. Was this intentional, or just a strange oversight? -- Andrew
