I don't know. The problem is that the line for to_tsvector is a lot
further down the page in table 9.42, and it contains a lot of other
stuff, so people trying their first examples based on table 9.41 would
not see it and will be as surprised as the OP was when it doesn't work
under their locale.
I think enlarging the description for the @@ entry is not out of the
question, but trying to explain too much about the locale there seems a
bit out of place. This is why I suggested to add another Note box below
the table.
If I misunderstood what you meant, please be more specific.
