Re: Docs: GIST

I did figure it out eventually but it'll be clearer to mention that in the 
docs - e.g. the only way to use GIST is to use the stuff in contrib. Coz I 
had a bit of wishful thinking - thought that maybe some bits of GIST might 
have at least become useable by default in 7.3 e.g. the simpler stuff (the 
docs didn't quite contradict that).

Definitely not asking for it to be rushed in tho. Software is more reliable 
when the developers know what they are doing, and they get to release stuff 
when they think it's ready, not when others say it is.

Cheerio,
Link.
