Doesn't the "simple" dictionary handle this?

I don't think so. The 'simple' dictionary discards stopwords, but
accepts any other lexemes. So if use {'simple', 'pl_ispell'} for my
config, I'll get rid of the stopwords, but I won't get any lexemes
stemmed by ispell. Every lexeme that's not a stopword will produce the
very same lexeme (this is how I think the 'simple' dictionary works).

My dictionary does basically the same thing as the 'simple' dictionary,
but it returns NULL instead of the original lexeme in case the lexeme is
not found in the stopwords file.

In the long term, what we really need a more flexible way to chain dictionaries. In this case, you would first check against one stopword list, eliminating 'od', then check the ispell dictionary, and then check another stopword list without 'od'.

I suggested that a while ago (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-08/msg01036.php). Hopefully Oleg or someone else gets around restructuring the dictionaries in a future release.

I wonder if you could hack the ispell dictionary file to treat oda specially?
