I went trough this patch. I found documentation changes to be not
sufficient. And I've made some improvements.

In particular, I didn't understand why is reconstructedValue claimed to be
of spgConfigOut.leafType while it should be of spgConfigIn.attType both
from general logic and code. I've fixed that. Nikita, correct me if I'm
wrong.

Also, I wonder should we check for existence of compress method when
attType and leafType are not the same in spgvalidate() function? We don't
do this for now.

0002-spgist-polygon-8.patch is OK for me so soon.
