Well, there are two separate issues: should we include tsearch2 in core,
and what syntax should it use? Changing the syntax would not require
rejecting the entire patch.

Peter, Tom and others raised essentially identical objections when this
design was initially proposed. For example:
   http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg00392.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg00405.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg00437.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg00397.php

Was a consensus reached in that thread? (I didn't see one, but perhaps
I've overlooked a mail.)
