This seems like a really neat project idea, however as I have never used
GIN/GiST APIs, I can't really judge the benefits. Could someone prepare
a simple example of a simple composite type and implementation of
GIN/GiST index with the current and new APIs? Not a complete
implementation, just a simple example of how the new API would make it
more simple.

BTW I think the project should include a simple benchmark, comparing the
old C APIs and the new PL APIs.
