Note that the results from that post suggest 100 as a bare minimum,
higher values would be quite reasonable.

Making the same change for to_tsquery and plainto_tsquery would be
reasonable; that would help with the seqscan cost for cases like
to_tsvector('config',col) @@ to_tsquery('blah') where the non-immutable
form of to_tsquery is used. It doesn't seem to have shown up as an issue
in reports so far because the common usage patterns don't tend to have
it evaluated for each row (either the immutable form is used, or the
to_tsquery is evaluated in a different from-clause item).
I don't recall seeing cases of any of the other functions figuring into
planner decisions.
