Thanks!

> Ok, I think I understand that now. In btree_gist, the *_cmp() function operates on non-leaf values, and *_lt(), *_gt() et al operate on leaf values. For all other datatypes, the leaf and non-leaf representation is the same, but for bit/varbit, the non-leaf representation is different. The leaf representation is VarBit, and non-leaf is just the bits without the 'bit_len' field. That's why it is indeed correct for gbt_bitcmp() to just use byteacmp(), whereas gbt_bitlt() et al compares the 'bit_len' field separately. That's subtle, and 100% uncommented.

+1
Thanks for investigating this.
If I understand things right, adding test values with different lengths of bit sequences would not uncover the problem anyway?
Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
