are there any built-in GIST opclasses? i didn't see any when looking
through the system tables. weren't there things like gist_box_ops &
gist_poly_ops at one time? i know there are a couple of GiST examples
in contrib (seg, cube & intarray), but i thought there used to be at
least a gist_box_ops. or was that another contrib item that got
dropped?
