OK.  I'll see what can be done with the docs.

No --- that's documentation for a specific contrib module, not
documentation about the feature in general.  Currently the general
description of dictionaries says that it's impossible for a dictionary
to modify the input lexeme.  Clearly that needs some adjustment,
but I'm not sure what, because the feature is not explained anywhere ;-)


Well, http://www.pgcon.org/2009/schedule/attachments/92_2009.pdf contains 
description of Dictionary API and new TSLexeme->flags: TSL_FILTER
If dictionary returns only one lexeme with TSL_FILTER flag, then that 
lexeme will be used as an input for the subsequent dictionaries in the chain.


I'm not sure, how to incorporate this into current documentation, since there
is no built-in filtering dictionary. Probably, it'd be nice to add filtering 
option
to simple dictionary to illustrate this feature.

Unfortunately, I'm busy-busy :(

Oleg

No --- that's documentation for a specific contrib module, not
documentation about the feature in general.  Currently the general
description of dictionaries says that it's impossible for a dictionary
to modify the input lexeme.  Clearly that needs some adjustment,
but I'm not sure what, because the feature is not explained anywhere ;-)
