My guess is the field usage of the Hungarian stemmer is near zero,
or somebody would've complained about this before. Hence, I'm not
thinking we should expend any huge effort to work around problems.
In any case, Oleg and Teodor have opined in the past that small changes
in dictionary behavior don't cause major practical problems; the worst
case is that some words aren't found by searches because the current
dictionary normalizes them differently than what's in the index.
You can get around that if you have to by entering the tsquery manually
rather than going through to_tsquery.
