Nearly. I'm starting from a weighted tsvector not from text/tsquery.
I would like to:
- keep the weights in the query
- avoid parsing the text to extract lexemes twice (I already have a
tsvector)

For me extending pg in C is a new science, but I'm actually trying
to write at least a couple of functions that:
- will return a tsvector as a weight int, pos int[], lexeme text
record
- will turn a tsvector + operator into a tsquery
'orange':A1,2,3 'banana':B4,5 'tomato':C6,7 ->
'orange':A | 'banana':B | 'tomato':C
or eventually
'orange':A & 'banana':B & 'tomato':C

thanks
