Currently you can schema-qualify objects where you need to, to avoid
issues with search_path subversion. If it's impossible to
schema-qualify tsearch configs now, when schema support is later added
it suddenly exposes everyone to risks that didn't exist before, and
requires manual changes to fix.
I'm for removing complexity, but per-schema support seems like a
design decision that needs to be made up front, whichever way it goes.
