If you insist on a solution that involves attaching type information
to trigger arguments, then we can forget about getting tsearch into 8.3.
That's a nontrivial amount of new design and code that hasn't even been
on the radar screen before.

At the moment I feel our thoughts have to revolve not around adding
complexity to tsearch, but taking stuff out. If we ship it with no
schema support for TS objects in 8.3, we can always add that later,
if there proves to be real demand for that (and I note that the contrib
version has gotten along fine without it). But we cannot go in the
other direction.
