I have discovered a simpler solution using ALTER TABLE and calling a

       test=> CREATE TABLE tsvector_test(x tsvector);
       CREATE TABLE

       test-> USING conversion_func(x);
       ALTER TABLE

No need for a fake data type and the required index infrastructure.

I assume you're putting this in the list of commands to run
post-migration along with any reindex commands etc? Because it will
take a while (still faster than dump/reload i think).

Just thinking some more about the idea to get all those post- processing steps running in parallel, it's occurring to me that we have all we need already: would it be possible for pg_migrator to issue a schema only script with a catalog, in the custom archive format? Then we could use pg_restore -j <whatever> post_migrator.script to run the last migration step.

Of course, people will want the custom script output of pg_migrator to be optional, I guess.
