 If data can be perceived as strips, gist penalty will always be zero,
 since leaves will be (width x height) = 0 x H = 0. For 2D data in ND index
 it will always be 0.

 There is patch by x4m for cubes that solves this problem by returning
 expansion of lesser dimension (length instead of volume etc.) with special
 mark:
