We usually say about 200 unique values as a limit for

That seems awfully small ... should we make gist_intbig_ops the default,
or more likely, raise the signature size of both opclasses? Even at a
crossover point of 10000 I'm not sure that many real-world apps would
bother considering gist_int_ops.
gist__int_ops doesn't uses signatures, it uses range compression, which
is not lossy, but not capacious. Perhaps, that's why we decided to use it
as default opclass.
