Re: Cube extension kNN support

Patch looks good, but there ara some review notices:
1 gmake installcheck fails:
*** /.../pgsql/contrib/cube/expected/cube_1.out   2015-12-01 17:49:01.768764000 
+0300
--- /.../pgsql/contrib/cube/results/cube.out      2015-12-01 17:49:12.190818000 
+0300
***************
*** 1382,1388 ****  (1 row)
  -- Test of distances
! --  SELECT cube_distance('(1,1)'::cube, '(4,5)'::cube);   cube_distance  ---------------
--- 1382,1388 ----  (1 row)
  -- Test of distances
! --  SELECT cube_distance('(1,1)'::cube, '(4,5)'::cube);   cube_distance

Seems, there a extra space at the end of string

2 Pls, don use in C-code magick constants like 'case 16:'. Use macros to define 
some human-readable name (g_cube_distance())

3 Switch in g_cube_distance(): default switch path should generate a error. It 
just simplifies a degbug process, may be in future.

4 Docs: pls, don't use a strings with unlimited length.
