Are these functions that would be useful for GiST indexes in general?
What's involved in pulling them into a system? I mean, for example, a database
using RTREE (or GiST I guess) boxes and the @ operator.
I didn't realize anyone really had any idea where to start with gathering
statistics or writing selectivity functions for geometric types. It's great
news to hear there's actually work in this area.
