Yeah ... just looking at operators named <->, I see
regression=# select oid, oid::regoperator, oprcom, oprcode from pg_operator
where oprname = '<->';
oid | oid | oprcom | oprcode
------+----------------------+--------+---------------------------
517 | <->(point,point) | 517 | point_distance
613 | <->(point,line) | 0 | dist_pl
614 | <->(point,lseg) | 0 | dist_ps
615 | <->(point,box) | 0 | dist_pb
616 | <->(lseg,line) | 0 | dist_sl
617 | <->(lseg,box) | 0 | dist_sb
618 | <->(point,path) | 0 | dist_ppath
706 | <->(box,box) | 706 | box_distance
707 | <->(path,path) | 707 | path_distance
708 | <->(line,line) | 708 | line_distance
709 | <->(lseg,lseg) | 709 | lseg_distance
712 | <->(polygon,polygon) | 712 | poly_distance
1520 | <->(circle,circle) | 1520 | circle_distance
1522 | <->(point,circle) | 3291 | dist_pc
3291 | <->(circle,point) | 1522 | dist_cpoint
3276 | <->(point,polygon) | 3289 | dist_ppoly
3289 | <->(polygon,point) | 3276 | dist_polyp
1523 | <->(circle,polygon) | 0 | dist_cpoly
1524 | <->(line,box) | 0 | dist_lb
5005 | <->(tsquery,tsquery) | 0 | pg_catalog.tsquery_phrase
(20 rows)
It's not clear to me why to be particularly more excited about
<->(box, point) than about the other missing cases here.
