Hmm. That's a problem, but I don't think that not having any error
checking on CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY's parameters is a good
solution.
The first kluge that comes to mind is to suppress the error check in a
standalone backend (ie, when not IsUnderPostmaster), which would cover
the initdb case. But maybe there are better answers ... any ideas?
