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,
