I have to agree here.
SELECT create_fulltext_mapping(cfgname, ARRAY['lex..','..'],
ARRAY['...']) is readable.
Is a total no op. We might as well just leave it in contrib.
I am for integration tsearch to core, why not. But I don't see reason for
special syntax. Stored procedures is exactly good tool for it.
Fulltext is standarised in SQL/MM, SQL Multimedia and Application Packages,
Part 2: Full-Text
Why implement extensive proprietary solution? If our soulution is
proprietary, then so it is simple and cheap and doesn't complicate future
conformance with ANSI SQL.
