Of the two operator classes for type <code class="type">point</code>,
<code class="literal">quad_point_ops</code> is the default. <code class="literal">kd_point_ops</code>
supports the same operators but uses a different index data structure that
may offer better performance in some applications.
</p><p>
The <code class="literal">quad_point_ops</code>, <code class="literal">kd_point_ops</code> and
<code class="literal">poly_ops</code> operator classes support the <code class="literal"><-></code>
ordering operator, which enables the k-nearest neighbor (<code class="literal">k-NN</code>)
search over indexed point or polygon data sets.
