[COMMITTERS] pgsql: Rename tsvector delete() to ts_delete(), and filter() to ts_filt

2016-05-05 Thread Tom Lane
Rename tsvector delete() to ts_delete(), and filter() to ts_filter(). The similarity of the original names to SQL keywords seems like a bad idea. Rename them before we're stuck with 'em forever. In passing, minor code and docs cleanup. Discussion: <4875.1462210...@sss.pgh.pa.us> Branch --
