+spgist_name_ops implements an SP-GiST operator class that indexes
+columns of type "name", but with storage identical to that used
+by SP-GiST text_ops.
+
+This is not terribly useful in itself, perhaps, but it allows
+testing cases where the indexed data type is different from the leaf
+data type and yet we can reconstruct the original indexed value.
+That situation is not tested by any built-in SP-GiST opclass.
