It's very desirable thing to be able to distinguish roles in consistent method
of GiST: computation of distance could be very expensive and. The single way to
provide it in current GiST interface is a strategy number. Of course, we could
add 6-th argument to consistent to point role, but I don't think that's good
decision.
