As best I can tell, @@ does exactly this already.  This is just a
different spelling of the same capability, and I don't actually
find it better.  Why is "text_search(x,y)" better than "x @@ y"?
We don't recommend that people write "texteq(x,y)" instead of
"x = y".

It's not an improvement, it's not compatible with what existing tsearch2
users are accustomed to, and it's several months too late...
