we can. I don't understand to tsearch2 well, so this wrapper is
complete. There are not necessary all unsupported functions. But these
improvisation can be done simply in C preprocessor.

it's little bit inefficient, but it's more consistent and readable. So
it's reason.

with this version of wrapper you cannot load old dumps. It allows
application compatibility. Dump was readable with older variant which
is really ugly and that is on pgfoundry.
Steps with this wrapper:
a) uninstall tsearch2
b) dump
c) install 8.3 and configure fulltext
d) load
e) load wrapper
