To support this sanely though wouldn't you need to know which language rule a
tsvector was generated with? Like, have a byte in the tsvector tagging it with
the language rule forever more?
What I'm wondering about is if you use a different rule than what was used
when an index entry was inserted will you get different results using the
index than you would doing a sequential scan and reapplying the operator to
every datum?
