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?
