At first, I would implement all RTREE supported operators in GIST.
Then, the GIST implementation may be a full replacement/alternative for RTREE.
Futhermore, I would implement all relationship operators, which are unsupported

- Add rtree index support for line, lseg, path, point
can be marked as "done".
