Yeah, apparently it is not supported to have a single term being a "see
$elsewhere" and a direct link. The semantics of that are debatable anyway.
The index building tool just creates garbage in that case.

I'd say that the text search section shouldn't be the primary source on GiST
and GIN, just like the section on arithmetic operators isn't the primary
source on B-tree. That might require moving some text around, though.
