Oh ... that's a mistake in the release notes :-(. The 3-argument form of
ts_rewrite doesn't execute any user-supplied query; AFAICS it's not any
less safe than anything else. The 2-argument form runs a user-supplied
query string, and *does* need to be marked unsafe. So the patch got
it right, but then we got confused while making the notes.
