It was changed to support partial-match tsvector queries. Without it,
a partial match query would have to scan entire tsvectors instead
of applying binary search. I don't know if Oleg and Teodor did any
actual performance tests on the size of the hit, but it seems like
it could be pretty awful for large documents.
