No, I was thinking of still having just one pg_ts_dict catalog (no template)
but removing its dictinit field.  Instead, the init strings would be
stored with configuration mapping entries.

This would mean having to remember to provide the right option along
with the dictionary name when doing ALTER CONFIGURATION ADD MAPPING.
Not sure if that would be harder or easier to use than what you're
thinking of.
