Bruce,

Yeah, hasn't anyone suggested this before? It seems like the obvious
solution. A TSvector constructed with en_US is NOT the same as a vector
constructed with fr_FR and it's silly to pretend that they are comparable.
Sticking the config name at the beginning of the field would allow for the
use of single-parameter functions, and default_config would only be used
for SELECT queries. Backup/restore issues should go away completely ...

EXCEPT this would introduce issues if the config is changed or deleted
after being used. However, I'd imagine that we have those anyway --
certainly we would at restore time.
