Hi strk,

Sadly not :(. I originally wanted to use a } instead of just | to indicate
the direction of the Y-axis but even that character was not allowed - see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/sql-createoperator.html for valid
characters. I also forgot to mention that I also removed mention of
timelines from some of the comments of the R-Tree functions, since we are
working with data with a purely geometric interpretation.


Kind regards,

Mark.
