Makes sense. While this might be a bit of a theoretical issue given the
lengths required, the fix is still sane and any such query should honor
statement timeouts (especially in a trusted extension).

I wasn't able to find one either.
+ CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();
+
/* Get index of next trigram */
int trgindex = trg2indexes[i];
Placing code before declarations will generate a compiler warning, so the check
must go after trgindex is declared. I've fixed that in the attached to get the
cfbot green. Marking this ready for committer in the meantime.
Looking at this I also noticed that commit be8a7a68662 changed the check_only
param to instead use a flag value but didn't update all comments. 0002 fixes
that while in there.
