(If anyone wants an easy downgrade path for testing, they can keep using the prior patch--no functional changes) It also added a comment before the trigramsMatchGraph call. I retained the palloc and the loop to promote the ternary array to a binary array. While I also think it is tempting to get rid of that by abusing the type system and would do it that way in my own standalone code, it seems contrary to way the project usually does things.

(Although one that I might actually start using myself now that I know it isn't just a Perl-ism). It doesn't make any difference to this patch, other than perhaps how to word the comments.
