Now I made the same mistake of not adding the change... Clearly I need to stop
for tonight. Either way, here's the hopefully correct change.

Commits

  1. Add support for sorted gist index builds to btree_gist

  2. Add GiST and btree sortsupport routines for range types

  3. Change gist stratnum function to use CompareType

  4. Doc: improve documentation for jsonpath behavior.

  5. Add sortsupport for gist_btree opclasses, for faster index builds.
