The people who actually use tsearch2 seem to all have the same opinion ...
so I think we can't go too far in the bullet-proofing direction.

But I would like a design that is bulletproof in dump/reload scenarios,
and I think it's fair to question that aspect of the tsearch2 design
because we've seen many reports of people having trouble updating
databases that use tsearch2.
