... although on reflection, it seems pretty stupid to be recommending
a method that requires two evaluations at each row of an admittedly
expensive function.

Seems like we should add one more normalization flag bit:

    32 --- replace computed rank by rank / (rank + 1)

and then the second example would be

SELECT title, ts_rank_cd(textsearch, query, 32 /* rank/(rank+1) */) AS rank
FROM apod, to_tsquery('neutrino|(dark & matter)') query
WHERE  query @@ textsearch
ORDER BY rank DESC LIMIT 10;

with no change in the example output.
