There are common use-cases in which the compress and/or decompress functions can be omitted, with the result being that we make no data transformation when storing or retrieving index values. Previously, you had to provide a no-op function anyway, but this patch allows such opclass support functions to be omitted. Furthermore, if the compress function is omitted, then the core code knows that the stored representation is the same as the original data. This means we can allow index-only scans without requiring a fetch function to be provided either. Previously you had to provide a no-op fetch function if you wanted IOS to work. This reportedly provides a small performance benefit in such cases, but IMO the real reason for doing it is just to reduce the amount of useless boilerplate code that has to be written for GiST opclasses.
