Right. I also looked at it briefly, but I wasn't sure if we really want
it. AFAICT, no-one has actually asked for that operator, it was written
only to be an example of an operator that would benefit from the
knn-gist with recheck patch. If there is some other, real, use for the
knn-gist with recheck patch, then I'm OK with that, but otherwise it's
dubious to add an operator just so that it can then be made faster by
another patch. That said, it seems quite harmless, so might as well
commit it.
