I see, thanks.

You patch seems a bit less cumbersome thanks to using GISTDistance
struct.  You don't have to introduce separate array with null flags.
But it's harder too keep index_store_float8_orderby_distances() used
by both GiST and SP-GiST.

What do you think?  You can rebase your patch can propose that as refactoring.
