Greetings, Postgres community!

I'm a student of the Moscow Institute of Physics and High Technology and am writing to you scince I'm willing to join the community starting with participation in this GSoC at your side by carrying out the project "Support KNN for SP-GiST".

Unfortunately, I hadn't have the ability to manage it out at least couple of days before, so all the project discusscion will happen after the application deadline. But technically the main skeleton of the project is ready and commited in form of the proposal (named "Support KNN for SP-GiST"). Nevertheless, as melange states, it's still editable in case of need and can be improved as the discussion flows onward. So, what's your opinion about it, are there any corner stones that need to be detailed right away? From the first sight it feels straightforward enough, but your comments will be of great use scince I'm totally new to Postgres and probably miss out of my sight many significant particularities.

Thanks in advance, Vlad Sterzhanov \ quadrocube
