Hi,
Does anyone know, why `typcategory` value for tsvector `regconfig` is
`TYPCATEGORY_NUMERIC`, but in all the tests it's being used in string format?
It's probably not a big deal, but in this thread [1] it prevents me from
adopting the nice solution with a boolean flag for `to_tsvector` function,
because Postgres can't distinguish between `to_tsvector(regconfig, text)` and
`to_tsvector(jsonb, boolean)` in the expression:
to_tsvector('english', 'some text')
If it's value would be `TYPCATEGORY_STRING`, then everything will be fine,
since a string type will win. Also, it doesn't break any existing tests, so I
wonder whether it should be like that or not?
