As a sort-of followup, the '%' operator kind of works but takes
incredibly long time, and the selectivity estimates are completely wrong:

nn=> vacuum analyze documents;
VACUUM
nn=> explain select id,title from documents where raw_data % 'zagreb';
                                       QUERY PLAN

 Bitmap Heap Scan on documents  (cost=128.42..330.87 rows=54 width=108)
   Recheck Cond: ((raw_data)::text % 'zagreb'::text)
   ->  Bitmap Index Scan on documents_raw_data_trgm  (cost=0.00..128.40
rows=54 width=0)
         Index Cond: ((raw_data)::text % 'zagreb'::text)

'zagreb';
