1. In your meaning, btree has bad split algorithm too. Look at _bt_compare, if
first keys on page are unique the the later keys will not be compared ;)
2. About rtree interface: it's possible to write GiST-RTree layer compatibility
interface. User's interface will just copied from RTree, and layer will
