PostgreSQL 18 gives GiST support function 12 to GIST_TRANSLATE_CMPTYPE_PROC, so the multi-entry extract function is support function 13. The access method reads the compare-type procedure under the name the released header publishes, and the MobilityDB and PostGIS operator classes declare their extract function in slot 13, which is the slot mgist reads it from.
…ME files MEST is an acronym and reads in capitals wherever the prose names the project; the extension names mest, postgis_mest and mobilitydb_mest keep their lowercase identity. The contents list points at contrib/postgis, which is where the PostGIS extension lives, and names the one geometry operator class that extension defines. The extensions build on PostgreSQL 18, and the MobilityDB contrib on MobilityDB 1.4 and MEOS 1.4, whose headers pull in json-c. The mest extension carries both the mgist and the mspgist access methods, so the per-access-method directories point at it rather than at an extension of their own, and the examples name types the operator classes cover and options the operator classes read.
