This adds mention of my latest tweak to the tsearch2/pg_trgm
integration.  It is much better to create a word list of unstemmed words
than stemmed ones.

      The first step is to generate an auxiliary table containing all
      the unique words in the Tsearch2 index:

!     CREATE TABLE words AS
!         SELECT word FROM stat('SELECT vector FROM documents');

!     Where 'documents' is the table that contains the Tsearch2 index
!     column 'vector', of type 'tsvector'.

      Next, create a trigram index on the word column:
