Emre Hasegeli just pointed out to me that this patch introduced
box_contain_pt() and in doing so used straight C comparison (<= etc)
instead of FPlt() and friends. I would think that that's a bug and
needs to be changed -- but certainly not backpatched, because gist
indexes would/might become corrupt.
