Sorry, I was wrong. In GiST, index_formtuple doesn't know about size of
fixed-length type of keys, because only loadable module has information
about structure of key. So, may be it needs to have function which
return size of key or index_formtuple must looks at GISTENTRY.bytes(
Note: A lot of currrent implementation of GiST modules don't set value
GISTENTRY.bytes ). Or fields in pg_opclass:
int len_key
bool is_lossy_compress
if len_key==-1 then key is varlena type.
