There are still some loose ends: I didn't do anything about the SET FROM
CURRENT idea yet, and it's not real clear whether we are happy with the
interaction of SET LOCAL with function-local settings. The documentation
is a bit spartan, too.
but just hardwire the specified timezone database path into the executable.
Per discussion, this avoids some packaging disadvantages of using a
symlink.
This prevents needing to do complex and poorly-defined updates of the
mapping table if the new parser has different token types than the old.
Per discussion.
init options of the template as top-level options in the syntax. This also
makes ALTER a bit easier to use, since options can be replaced individually.
I also made these statements verify that the tmplinit method will accept
the new settings before they get stored; in the original coding you didn't
find out about mistakes until the dictionary got invoked.
Under the hood, init methods now get options as a List of DefElem instead
of a raw text string --- that lets tsearch use existing options-pushing code
instead of duplicating functionality.
pages for the new SQL commands. I also committed Bruce's text search
introductory chapter, as-is except for fixing some markup errors,
so that there would be a place for the reference pages to link to.
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.

certain corner cases. Per discussion, the code does what we want, but
it really needs to be documented that these functions act differently
from regexp_matches.
that cached compiled patterns will still be there when the function is next
called. Clean up looping logic, thereby fixing bug identified by Pavel
Stehule. Share setup code between the two functions, add some comments, and
avoid risky mixing of int and size_t variables. Clean up the documentation a
tad, and accept all the flag characters mentioned in table 9-19 rather than
just a subset.
