This whole GiST concurrency think really needs to be looked at :(  There 
is so much cool stuff that can be done with it, and now that there are 
som fantastic uses of it, such as tsearch2 and pg_trgm, people are 
starting to run into these walls :(

WAL logging would also be nice, especially since Tom mentioned in the 
manual that it was just a Small Matter Of Programming :D
