Thanks for the further improvements! Yes, you're both right, the API has
to be consistent. Unfortunately, I had to make some adjustments
according to Oleg Bartunov's review. Here's a change log:

1. &, | and (), <-> are no longer considered operators in web search
mode.
2. I've stumbled upon a bug: web search used to transform "pg_class"
into 'pg <-> class', which is no longer the case.
3. I changed the behavior of gettoken_tsvector() as soon as I had heard
from Aleksander Alekseev, so I decided to use my implementation in this
revision of the patch. This is a good subject for discussion, though.
Feel free to share your opinion.
4. As suggested by Theodor, I've replaced some bool args with bit flags.

True, but gettoken_query() returns ts_tokentype, so I decided to use
this naming scheme.
