Hmm, IMHO, it's needed for consistent interface: nobody adds new column to table by editing pg_class & pg_attribute, nobody looks for description of table by selection values from system table.

Now we (Oleg and me) are working on moving tsearch into core.
Pls, review suggested syntax. Comments, suggestions, objections will be appreciated.

Is it really necessary to invent a batch of special-purpose commands?
Seems like this will add some thousands of lines of code and no actual
new functionality; not to mention loss of backwards compatibility for
existing tsearch2 users.



Thousands of lines seems a high estimate, but maybe I'm wrong. I guess an alternative would be to do this in some builtin functions, but that seems a tad unclean.

I am also a bit concerned that the names of the proposed objects (parser, dictionary) don't convey their purpose adequately. Maybe TS_DICTIONARY and TS_PARSER might be better if we in fact need to name them.
