Re: Cube extension kNN support

Hello.

That is updated version of the patch with proper update scripts.

Also i’ve noted that documentation states the wrong thing:

“It does not matter which order the opposite corners of a cube are entered in. The cube functions automatically swap
valuesif needed to create a uniform "lower left — upper right" internal representation." 

But in practice cubes stored "as is" and that leads to problems with getting cubes sorted along specific dimension
directlyfrom index. 
As a simplest workaround i’ve deleted that sentence from docs and implemented two coordinate getters -> and ~>. First
onereturns 
coordinate of cube as it stored, and second returns coordinate of cube normalised to (LL,UR)-form.

Other way to fix thing is to force ’normalization’ while creating cube. But that can produce wrong sorts with already
existingdata.
