This is a very cool feature making tsquery much more accessible. Many
people know that sort of defacto search engine query language that
many websites accept using quotes, AND, OR, - etc.
Calling this search syntax just "query" seems too general and
overloaded. "Simple search", "simple query", "web search", "web
syntax", "web query", "Google-style query", "Poogle" (kidding!) ...
well I'm not sure, but I feel like it deserves a proper name.
websearch_to_tsquery()?
I see that your AROUND(n) is an undocumented Google search syntax.
That's a good trick to know.
Please send a rebased version of the patch for people to review and
test as that one has bit-rotted.
